Tanzania Serengeti Balloon Safaris Travel Reviews

Aug 07, 2007
There is just one thing I couldn´t do in my trip to Tanzania and that I regret so much! The Balloon Safari! There is just one place where you can do that and it is in Serengeti. You have to book it in advance, at least 3 or 4 days as they only do 32 passengers a day! They come to pick you up at the hotel and you leave around 5:30am. The flight lasts 1 hour and you see the sun come out. When you finish the flight they prepare a nice breakfast under a tree which is totally cool! they say they give you champagne, but in fact it is CAVA ;) which is the Catalan Champagne (Freixenet Cordon Negro as I saw the bottles). They produce it very close from where I lived when I was young. By the way and VERY IMPORTANT. If you get the flight from your travel agency it might cost you as much as 450€. If you get it in the hotel it could go up to 340€ but if you call straight and you get it in their office in Arusha you can save some dollars. You can buy it for 290US$. Amazing eah? if you save that amount of money per person following my tip you owe me a beer when I go to your town! hahahah cheers

I asked about the balloon ride...they said it's 450 US dollars for one hour. I just can't see paying that much.
