Seeing images of the Serengeti in Nat Geo Magazines and wildlife documentaries is one thing, but exploring it up close while hovering above it is an indescribable experience.
We all have some idea of what it must be like to observe Africa’s wildlife from a few feet away, but until you immerse yourself in its surroundings and experience it yourself, you won’t understand how exhilarating it is.
Serengeti Park Hot Air Balloon Safaris is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Tanzania. It’s known for its diverse wildlife, beautiful landscape and The Great Migration, where over two million animals, including thousands of wildebeest, stampede across Tanzania for greener pastures in Kenya.
Tourists have the option of getting on a hot air balloon and observing the Serengeti from up above. Here’s why you should:
Even if you visit during the Great Migration, the Serengeti is packed with herds of amazing wildlife that grazes during the early hours of the morning.
Every square kilometer, you’ll spot a herd of African animals going about their day.
Riding on a hot air balloon gives you plenty of opportunities to take photos of the Serengeti without disturbing the wildlife.
2. EXPLORE OFF-ROAD TRACKS
You have limited access to the Serengeti when you go on a road safari. Vehicles can only run on specific trails in the park to ensure minimal disturbance to the animals, so you won’t get to see all that it has to offer.
On a hot air balloon, you can see all of the park—even the parts you couldn’t see by road. You can fly over off-road tracks and see animals in their natural habitats.
3. SEE THE SUNRISE
We’ve all seen the sunrise at some point in our lives, but seeing it from a hot air balloon while hovering above the plains of the Serengeti is something else.
Most hot air balloon rides in the Serengeti happen during sunrise because this is when animals come out for grazing.
As you hover above them, you’ll see all the shades of the sky as the sun comes up—it’s every photographer’s dream come to life!
Surrounding yourself in the splendor of the Serengeti and seeing its flora and fauna from the sky is a truly humbling experience. The fact that there’s so much beauty in the world that you’ve yet to explore will keep you coming back for more!
