Tanzania balloon safaris

Hot Air Balloon Safaris in Tanzania

A Balloon Safari is one of the most popular additions to any safari holidays in East Africa and nowhere is it more popular than in Kenya and Tanzania.
Balloon Safaris usually take off just before dawn so that you are high above the plains in time for sunrise which in definitely worth getting out of bed for.

Balloon Safaris usually last for about an one hour and once you return back to earth your treated to a champagne breakfast. It is easy to see why a Balloon safari in Tanzania is very popular with honeymoon couples!

The Serengeti has the largest concentration of wildlife in the world and famous for annual wildlife migration. With over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras moving south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every October and November, and then turning west and north after the long rains in April, May and June, there are plenty of opportunities for huge panoramic views and spotting the wildlife from above.
You need to book in advance with Africa Joy Tours to make sure you book a place as there are only two balloons in the entire Serengeti national park so this is truly an exclusive adventure!
