Balloon Safari Tips
Dress Warmly: Early mornings in the Serengeti can be chilly, so wear layers you can remove as it warms up. Comfortable shoes are recommended, as the ground may be uneven at the landing site.
Bring a Camera: Capture the incredible aerial views, but ensure your camera or phone is secure. A strap is helpful to prevent dropping it over the side of the basket.
Use Binoculars: Wildlife can sometimes be far below, so having a pair of binoculars enhances your ability to see and appreciate the animals from above.
Arrive Early: Balloon safaris typically start before sunrise to catch the best light and calm winds. Arriving on time ensures you don’t miss the start of this magical experience.
Keep Essentials Handy: Bring a small backpack with your essentials, like sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat for when the sun rises.
Stay Calm: If you’re nervous about heights, remember that the ride is gentle and the views are incredibly rewarding. Trust your experienced pilot to guide you smoothly.
Be Mindful of Safety: Listen carefully to the safety briefing and follow all instructions from the pilot, especially during landing.
Enjoy the Moment: Take time to soak in the serene beauty of the Serengeti from above—it’s a rare and unforgettable experience!
