A hot air balloon safari is not just a ride, it is a new way of seeing Africa. From above, the landscape opens like a map, dotted with animals and threaded with rivers. The scale is breathtaking, the silence unforgettable.
One flight is all you need, and it will stay with you for life.
Balloon safaris operate year-round, but they are most magical in the dry season. This usually runs from June to October in East and Southern Africa. During these months, the skies are clear, the air is crisp, and animals gather around water sources, making sightings from above even more dramatic.
Early mornings are essential, when the air is cool and calm, and the first light sets the landscape glowing beneath you.
Pair your balloon safari with a day of game drives to see the same animals from ground level, or with a walking safari for contrast. It also combines beautifully with fly-in safaris, giving you the grand aerial view before or after exploring on foot or by vehicle.
