From the outset, we've established ourselves as partners in conservation in the parks in which we operate and we take an active role in ensuring ballooning standards are rigorously maintained. We've learned all the patterns of wind, wildlife and weather over the years so we can give our guests the very best safari highlight.

Serengeti Balloon Safaris
Amazing Adventure Nice people Everything was unbelivebil
We were so high that we could not see the animals clearly. No attempt made by Barry (referred to himself constantly as 'the good looking pilot') to descend to a height where you could see the animals.
Best pilot, crew, and entire experience. if not for distance, we’d go again and again. Miss it everyday!
Amazing sunrise balloon ride!
It was a spectacular morning for a balloon ride. The pilot was able to provide good commentary on what was around us. Flying over the plains was a magical experience. I would highly recommend.
