Day 3 :
Serengeti

Your balloon adventure starts before dawn, meaning you will depart from your lodge between 04.00 and 05.00 in the morning.
There's something special about waking up under a sky full of stars and watching the Serengeti come to life. While the staff is preparing the balloon for the flight, you can enjoy a warm cup of tea or coffee with a cookie on launch site.

Shortly before departure, you will receive simple safety instructions with a safety belt. The staff will tell you how to position yourself in the basket and what to expect during the flight. After enjoying the Serengeti plains for about an hour from a birds-eye view, the pilot searches for an open space suitable for landing and makes a landing announcement to get ready for the descent.
While you’re still full of excitement about the Serengeti balloon ride, you will arrive at the breakfast site to enjoy an extensive champagne bush breakfast with fresh fruits, fresh juices, and warm and cold dishes, like eggs of your choice, sausages, and pancakes. The food is freshly prepared by the chefs, with all dietary requirements in mind. After this celebration, you will be taken back to your lodge for relaxation and hot lunch.
