Balloon flights typically take off at 6.30am. Passengers arrive in time to watch the balloon inflation as the pilots torch the colored fabric to life. The flight is for one hour, each one different path and following the days prevailing winds. A Balloon flight allows passengers to float over the world's most spectacular Serengeti National Park, where you will find two of the `Giants of African Wilderness': the Elephants and the Baobab Trees, and the others. On landing, the balloon crew set up a full champagne breakfast complete with 'Bloody Marys' next to Serengeti River. Each passenger then receives a certificate from their pilot as a special memoir of their flight. A game drives en route to the lodge or the main gate which ends a special morning.
