HOT AIR Balloon Safaris

Imagine standing in the open air of a wicker and leather basket, feeling the fresh air on your
cheeks as you gaze across the wild lands of Africa in the magical light of sunrise. You may be
looking down at the endless plains of Serengeti, hearing the calls of the black bellied bustard
in the grass below, or floating over a pod of hippo in the Seronera river, replete after a night
of grazing in the adjacent grasslands. You might drift over a pair of honeymooning lions that
are completely hidden from view from the ground, or spot a herd of elephants from afar,
making their way across the plains. The wildebeest migration may be in reach and you could
be lucky to see the ‘hard edge of the migration’ as the leading animals all bunch up, it’s an
extraordinary sight and almost impossible to see from the ground.

TANZANIAN SAFARIS REDIFINED 14


A safari from the air is also about
the views, what a privilege it is to see
these incredible lands from high in
the sky, being able to pick out the
Ngorongoro highlands to the east,
or the waters of Africa’s largest lake,
Victoria, far in the west, look deep
into the Maasai Mara in Kenya or
just gaze at the rolling, acacia clad
hills of Serengeti.

You can have balloon safaris not


only in Serengeti but Tarangire and
Ruaha National Parks as well. You
may book directly with a balloon
safari company but for the best
possible price you are advised to
book with a local tour operator

Elly: (Your recommended guide)

Now, I have put that particular picture of Elly


with a client who traveled with him last year
and ended up giving him a nick name of the
“smiley guide” because of how Elly smiled
through their entire trip. “He is always
smiling and that was part of our incredible
safari” she said. Since then, Elly is likewise
known as the smiley guide among his peers
and can’t wait for you to meet him.

On the other hand, Elly is a young but


extremely esperienced safari guide who was
born in Mto wa Mbu -Arusha. Mto wa Mbu
being a corridor area where animals would
from time to time be spotted, his interests in
wildlife began at a very young age. He did
not come from a well-off family but with
great determination and passion, he was able
to make a huge step towards his goals and
that is being a tour guide. AN ETHICAL AND
PASSIONATE SAFARI GUIDE.

6+ years of traveling from park to park,


game reserve to game reserve, region to region
amassed him a great amount of knowledge
about different animals, birds and many
other savannah species. He did not only
gather that but also enough research on the
industry as he worked in 15+ your operator
companies making him realize that he needed
to come up with something different to help
people visiting Tanzania have the most
AUTHENTIC experience!

Pre safari, you can chat with him
