Hot Air Balloon Safaris in Tanzania

An Unforgettable Safari Experience Above the Plains

As the sun begins to rise over the African plains, your hot air balloon adventure quietly comes to life. In the cool morning air, the balloon slowly lifts you above the wilderness, revealing breathtaking views of elephants, giraffes, zebras, and endless golden landscapes below. Floating silently through the sky creates a peaceful and unforgettable feeling, giving you a completely different view of Tanzania’s wildlife and natural beauty.

This magical experience can be enjoyed in Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ruaha National Parks, where the adventure begins before sunrise with a transfer to the balloon launch site. As the balloon rises, the parks slowly wake up beneath you with wildlife moving across the plains and rivers shining in the early morning light. After the flight, guests usually enjoy a beautiful bush breakfast surrounded by nature.

At Mylo Africa Safaris, we make it easy to add a hot air balloon safari to your normal Tanzania safari itinerary. Whether you are visiting for a honeymoon, family holiday, or wildlife adventure, this experience adds something truly special to your journey. Our team handles every detail to ensure your balloon safari becomes one of the most memorable highlights of your trip.

Best Time For A Tanzania Safari

Experience Tanzania in Every Season

The best time to visit Tanzania for safari is during the dry season from June to October, when wildlife viewing is at its best and animals gather around water sources. This is also a great time to witness the famous Serengeti wildebeest migration, especially during June and July.

From late January to February, the southern Serengeti becomes the perfect place to see the wildebeest calving season. While southern and western Tanzania are best explored during the dry months, the northern safari circuit — including Serengeti and Ngorongoro — can be visited throughout the year with excellent wildlife experiences in every season.

amazing 5-days safari experience in Serengeti
I have had the best safari and amazing guide,I felt very safe and could see a lot of animals. The lodges were really nice and you could see lions and hyienas in the middle of the night in the serengeti. The Guide was very knowledgeable and passionate spotting and observing animals himself. I can highly recommend going on tour with this company. everything was handled very professional.
