Trans-Serengeti Balloon Safari 2024

By hot air balloon, 4WD and on foot through Serengeti NP

Get ready for slow travel in one of Africa's most beautiful game parks. The days start before sunrise, when you board the hot air balloon for a one- to one-and-a-half-hour flight. The first rays of sunlight stir the vast land, the morning fog dissolves and the faint light reveals the last nocturnal animals giving way to the day-active ones. This is the magic of the Serengeti in its purest form. Four times you will make such a wonderful cruise, and each time it will be climaxed with a tasty breakfast somewhere in the middle of the bush. It is this exceptional privilège of the balloonist that becomes your routine these days. The rest of the days zoom in on flora and fauna from the ground. By 4WD and on foot, you will become increasingly familiar with this vast, untouched area of Africa.

Unique camping trip to Lake Victoria

The trip has only been performed once before, and due to great success, a new date was immediately scheduled for 2024. Truly a unique opportunity to discover the Serengeti from different perspectives. Along the way, you will stay in a mobile tented camp, which will be set up for you each day in fantastic locations deep within the game reserve. While other visitors must leave the park by sunset and retreat behind the walls and fences of a lodge, you will stay in the middle of nature. It is a digital detox but you lack nothing. You are truly in a place here Where the world can't find you....
