The balloon flight
A hot air balloon safari in East Africa is a sensory journey that begins in the quiet, pre-dawn chill of the savannah. Clients can expect an early wake-up call, typically between 4:00 AM and 5:00 AM, followed by a transfer to the launch site where they can watch the mesmerising sight of the balloons being inflated by torchlight.

Average Balloon launch time
After a thorough safety briefing from the pilot, you'll climb into the basket and gently lift off just as the sun begins to peek over the horizon. The flight itself is an hour of near-silent suspension, broken only by the occasional roar of the burners, offering a bird's-eye view of the Great Migration herds, winding rivers, and predators beginning their day.
Upon landing, clients are greeted with a champagne toast, followed by a luxurious "Out of Africa" style bush breakfast — tables set in the heart of the wilderness, complete with linens, fine cutlery, and a full buffet of freshly prepared food.
