Serengeti hot air balloon safari

An hour over the Serengeti at sunrise, breakfast wherever you land.

You are collected in the dark and at the launch site while the envelopes are still being inflated, which is worth seeing on its own. The flight is an hour at sunrise, and most of it is spent low, following a river or sliding over a treeline rather than up where the view flattens out. Nobody knows where you land: you go where the wind goes, and the ground crew follows. Breakfast is laid out wherever you come down. Minimum age is seven, and there is a weight and height check because the basket is compartmented.
