Kilimanjaro Hot Air Balloon Safari Tour
Amboseli National Park, Tanzania, Early Morning Tour including Champagne Breakfast
Rise and shine… for this will be the best African hot air balloon
safari experience to surpass all others. The balloon safari is
experienced around Amboseli National Park in Kenya with eye level views
of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. Orange flames dance as they light up
the cool crisp Amboseli dawn filling the balloon with hot air. The
magnificent sight of Mount Kilimanjaro above herds of elephant crossing
the plains of Amboseli is a timeless African image and one of life's
most memorable experiences. Spot buffalo, zebra or giraffes happily
roaming the park, perhaps even the king of the jungle enjoying an early
morning kill. Get an aerial view of the authentic Maasai villages...the
list is endless and after about an hour depending on the conditions,
the balloon will slowly descend on the red volcanic ash of the Amboseli
earth with a slight tumble. As balloons only go where the wind takes
them, each balloon flight is a unique journey and experience of its
own. The breath taking early morning flight is crowned with a very
personalized traditional champagne breakfast in the bush with a Mount
Kilimanjaro back drop. Seasonal fruits, freshly made bacon, sausage,
eggs, mushroom, and tomato among a host of others are all set out for
the intrepid travelers. Do something that you would only otherwise
dream of doing …. Sit out in the wild of Africa, on the slopes of Mount
Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa; eavesdrop at the calls of
the wild animals in the distance while casually sipping the finest of
Kenya's aromatic coffee. A 4X4 Landover patiently waits, to treat you
to a game drive on the way back to your Amboseli Serena Lodge.
Approximate Time: 4 hours
Cost: $395 USD per person

Serengeti Balloon Safari
Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, Early Morning Tour including Champagne Breakfast
This is the most beautiful balloon flight in the world and the ultimate Safari Experience you do not want to miss! At dawn you will take off, rising as the sun rises and floats in whichever direction the winds of the morning take you. Your pilot can precisely control the altitude of your balloon: sometimes flying at treetop height, sometimes lower, offering a unique perspective and great photographic opportunities of the wildlife below. At other times he will ascend to 1000' or more to see the enormity and wonderful panorama of the Serengeti. From time to time the pilot must put more heat into the balloon with the powerful whisper burners. In between these burns, there is silence apart from the natural sounds below. The Serengeti plains and woodlands are world famous for the variety and sheer number of its animal population. A Serengeti Balloon Safari however, is not merely a game viewing experience, but rather an opportunity for an adventure and unique perspective over outstanding quintessentially African landscapes. This tour ends off with an included champagne breakfast treat in the Serengeti bush. DO NOT MISS THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE!
Approximate Time: 4 hours
Cost: $499 per person
