browse (1 / 8)

Tanzania is one of Africa’s most sought-after tourist destinations largely thanks to its reputation of hosting fantastic safari holidays. The incredible kaleidoscope of hills, mountains and lakes is epitomized in the country’s most famous game park – the Serengeti National Park. Appropriately translated from the Maasai language to mean ‘endless plains’, the Serengeti boasts unbelievable views and is one of the world’s least disturbed eco-systems.

Nestled between the majestic Lake Victoria and the Great Rift Valley, the Serengeti National Park is an overload of stimulation for the senses with tourists able to enjoy Mother Nature at her finest. As the park has a very well-preserved eco-system it attracts many types of animals as well as birds, and is the scene of one of the Animal Kingdom’s greatest spectacles - the Great Migration. Indeed, this trek of millions of herbivores is one of the major reasons why scores of tourists head to Tanzania each year wanting to participate in this symbol of animal survival. While safari walks and hikes, as well as game drives are the preferred choice of many travelers as a means of exploring this incredible terrain, most recently hot-air balloon rides have become quite popular too. The balloon trips have the incredible advantage of being able to witness the endless plains of the Serengeti in all its glory from an overhead vantage point.

The views are magnificent and breathtaking and the experience can often turn into an emotional one as tourists realize how majestic this part of the world really is. Most tour operators in the area specialize in hot-air balloon rides; this way of exploring the Serengeti is a priceless adventure and truly the only manner in which to explore the vastness and supremacy of the park.
