The Experience
Go beyond simply visiting Tanzania. Build moments around the way you want to travel.
Before sunrise, the Serengeti is almost completely still. As the first light reaches the horizon, the balloon begins to rise above the plains. From the air, herds become moving patterns across the grassland while kopjes, rivers and acacia trees reveal the scale of the landscape. After landing, continue the morning with a bush breakfast before returning to camp.
