Hot Air Balloon Flight in Tarangire N.P.

Float peacefully above Tarangire National Park and admire the sunrise, elephants and iconic baobab trees from a truly unique perspective.

A perfect blend of adventure and relaxation

A hot air balloon flight over Tarangire National Park is a magical way to experience Tanzania from a bird’s-eye view. As the first rays of sunlight paint the savannah in warm shades of gold and orange, you gently lift off and float above a breathtaking landscape renowned for its giant baobab trees and large herds of elephants.

From above, you watch giraffes moving gracefully through the grass, zebras and impalas gathering at waterholes, and the light spreading softly along the Tarangire River. It is an experience that is both deeply relaxing and truly unforgettable — a moment of silence and wonder in the heart of the African wilderness.

After landing, you are treated to a (champagne) breakfast in the middle of the bush, a traditional ritual that makes every balloon flight in Tarangire extra special. This activity is perfect for couples, nature lovers, or anyone wishing to add a touch of magic to their safari.
