Ndutu Balloon Safari: Soar Above the Southern Serengeti
A hot air balloon safari over the Ndutu plains in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a world-class yet highly seasonal adventure, offered exclusively during the Great Migration's calving season from roughly December to March. During this spectacular period, you can ascend at dawn to drift silently over plains teeming with hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and their newborn calves—a breathtaking 'Circle of Life' drama viewed from above, culminating in a traditional champagne breakfast. It is essential to understand that this operation is migratory; during other times of the year, including the current dry season in June, both the great herds and the dedicated Ndutu ballooning service have moved far to the north. Therefore, experiencing this iconic aerial safari requires planning a visit specifically during the green season to witness one of Africa's most magnificent wildlife events from the most breathtaking perspective imaginable.
