Hot air Balloon Ride Safari at Ruaha National Park

Ruaha is probably the most beautiful National park for the balloon flight in the world and the ultimate destination for safari experience.

Here the guests will meet their pilot, receive a briefing and watch the inflation of their balloon. At dawn it will take off, rising as the sun rises and floating in whichever direction the winds of the morning takes. The pilot can precisely control the altitude of the balloon: sometimes flying at treetop height, sometimes lower, offering a unique perspective and great photographic opportunities of the wildlife below.

At other times, pilot may ascend to 1,000ft or more, to see the enormity and wonderful panorama of Ruaha. From time to time the pilot must put more heat into the balloon with the powerful whisper burners. In between these burns, there is silence apart from the natural sounds below.

The flight is for about one hour, depending on conditions, and eventually it must land. You will celebrate in the traditional manner with champagne (well, an excellent sparkling wine) before sitting down to a full English breakfast prepared and served in the bush in
