This
popular excursion is available on all safaris which
include an overnight stay at any of the central Serengeti
Lodges and campsites. It includes a pre- dawn collection
from your accommodation for the trip to the launch site,
take- off around dawn and a flight of around one hour
duration. After landing there is a champane toast, and
then passengers are taken to a very special breakfast
served out on the open plains under the shade of an
umbrella tree. After the meal, everyone is returned
to Seronera Wildlife Lodge for collection by their drivers.
The safari is finished by about 9.30 a.m. so that this
excursion can fit in with any itinerary- even where
not all members of a group want to take the balloon
option. Two balloons, with a capacity of 28 passengers
in total, fly once each day. This is the only balloon
trip available in Tanzania, and due to its popularity
and limited capacity, advance booking is strongly recommended.
