Hot Air Ballooning
Take off to the air for the ultimate view of Africa
Summary
Experience the breathtaking African landscape from the air as the first rays of sunlight touch the vast African plains. Feel a unique state of almost weightlessness from the peace and quiet of your hot air balloon. It’s the perfect vantage point to wonder at the incredible beauty of the landscape below as the colours change and the wildlife stirs with the rising sun.
Highlights
Northern Serengeti, Tanzania
See the vast plains of the Serengeti from a whole new perspective. Your hot air balloon can soar as high as 300 metres or drop down to treetop level for incredible animal sightings. Flights take place at dawn when animals are most active. You will get the chance to float by rivers and waterholes to see wildlife taking an early morning drink.
Masaai Mara, Kenya
On a hot air balloon safari over Kenya’s Masaai Mara you’ll fly over an ever-changing patchwork of landscapes, from swamps and rivers to forests and savannah. Drifting silently above the ground, you’ll spot buffalo, elephant, rhino, lion, leopard and giraffe as they make their way across the vast plains. Keep your camera at the ready for this hot air balloon adventure that will leave you on a high.
Okavango Delta, Botswana
As your hot air balloon takes off, the first rays of sunlight will begin to roll across the vast swampy flood plains of the Okavango Delta. The scale of the delta can only truly be appreciated from the air, flying over the flooded plains dotted with tiny islands and woodland forest. See huge herd of elephants, pods of hippos and crocodiles slithering into winding rivers.
