Keeping safe & preparing to fly

Your pilot takes you through the important safety briefing ahead of your flight as the sky begins to lighten and the crew inflates the balloon - an envelope of savannah gold and acacia green billowing into the cool morning, lit by the flames of the burners. You climb into the basket and prepare to lift into the dawn.

Serengeti from the sky

Each flight is a different journey dictated by the direction of the wind, where the sights and sounds rise from the ground to meet you. We know where we’ve started but we don’t know where we will return to earth. This is part of the adventure. Sometimes the basket will be gently brushing the tips of the grass and then climbing, climbing through the layers of air until you’re high enough to see the curve of the horizon, painted gold and pink by the early sun. Our pilots not only have years of experience in harnessing the African wind, but are also interpreters of the wild lives in the ebb and flow of the landscape below. Around an hour or so after you lift into the sky, the basket will return to the plains of the Serengeti.

Safari game drive   ·   The best part of your trip

We use open or closed four-wheel drive safari jeeps, perfectly suited for taking unobstructed pictures. The vehicles are low emission, thus less noise, and therefore we can take you close-up to the wildlife. Our English-speaking driver guide is very knowledgeable on flora and fauna and will make sure you get to see the best of Selous. They will give you as much time as you need to ask questions, take pictures and to enjoy the amazing landscape.

Village tour   ·   Real life in Tanzania

There are approximately 120 different tribes throughout Tanzania, all speaking their own dialect and living in complete harmony with one another.

Fly-in Safari

Flying in over the Serengeti provides an aerial sneak-peek of the adventure that awaits below. With clear skies you will be able to take delight in spotting some of the Serengeti resident wildlife as your plane descends for a landing on the Ikoma airstrip. On arrival you transfer into your safari jeep and begin exploring the Serengeti and Ikoma surroundings before enjoying a sundowner at your home away from home in the wilderness - Africa Safari Serengeti Ikoma. With over 14,000 square kilometres making up the Serengeti, you may not get the chance to see the national park in its entirety but any of these itineraries will allow you the opportunity to cover some serious terrain and see the park in great depth. From Ikoma you can either fly back to Arusha straight or make a stop-over in Africa Safari Lake Natron to explore this intriguing landscape with a soda lake and volcanoes.

The Great Migration in Tanzania

SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK   -   THE BEST-KNOWN WILDLIFE SANCTUARY IN THE WORLD

Endless plains and stunning savannah
With vast open plains and an abundance of wildlife as far as the eye can see, the Serengeti is a safari maker’s dreamland. As the park is so expansive, it is ideally recommended to spend several days exploring. Serengeti National Park spans across 14,763 square kilometres and is easily the largest and arguably most popular of the Northern Circuit National Parks. The Serengeti is host to the annual Wildebeest migration, when some six million hooves pound the open plains, as more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelle join the wildebeest’s trek for fresh grazing. Buffalo, elephant, giraffe, lion, hippo and hyena are also frequently sighted throughout the Serengeti.

SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK   -   NORTHERN AREA & MARA RIVER

Northern Serengeti is where the great migration crosses the Mara river
Witness the most amazing wildlife spectacle in Africa at the Mara River. The Mara river is most famous for the legendary wildebeest crossing, a dramatic event, which is featured in countless wildlife documentaries. One of Tanzania’s best kept secrets is the fact that nearly half of the Mara river is situated in the northern Serengeti versus the Masai Mara’s segment in Kenya. While there are hordes of vehicles just a few miles upriver in the Masai Mara, the Serengeti side is virtually devoid of tourists. Not only the Mara river is a special part of this part of Serengeti, Bologonja is a lush and idyllic spot hidden away in the remote reaches of the north. Many varieties of colorful birds can be found here including kingfishers, hoopoes and rollers. Bologonja’s flourishing resources support some unusual antelope species including Mountain reedbuck and Steenbok. The nearby Larelemangi salt lick is a haven for wildlife and large herds of buffalo and elephant are regular visitors.

SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK   -   CENTRAL AREA / SERONERA

Big cat capital
Serengeti’s Seronera area is located in the south-central region of the park and is well known for the large number of big cats; the lion, leopard and cheetah are often spotted here. However, the elephant, giraffe, hippo, crocodile, buffalo and impala are also well known inhabitants. The area is very popular as it is one of the most likely spots to watch a kill. The landscape is dotted with ‘’kopjes’’, rocky granite or Gneiss outcrops, over 550 million years old and in high favour by some of the cats as look-out points while hunting.
