What an amazing experience! From the timely pick up from our camp in their luxury land cruisers to the coffee stand while you wait for the balloons to be ready to fly! We received a very warm welcome early morning with the smell of fresh coffee and even a portable washroom in the middle of no where! While waiting for the balloons to be inflated we were treated to a magnificent dawn. The staff was more than accommodating with everyone asking them to take pictures and did so with a big smile on their faces. Our captain was Shane while the other balloon was flown by Bob. They are the funniest guys around! Getting in the balloon is easy, for those wondering! The baskets have little steps! We were treated to an amazing sunrise over the Serengeti and Shane made sure all of us had our photo opportunities by turning the balloon around and by handing out binoculars! We saw many animals, from gazettes to hyena's, zebra's, elephants etc.! The views are spectacular! And when you have landed (keep in mind the captains have nothing to say about how they land, this depends on the wind conditions) you are taken to their breakfast spot in the middle of the Serengeti! We were lucky enough to encounter a whole group of lions crossing the road and the driver gave us all the time to look and take pictures before continuing to breakfast. And the breakfast itself: so amazing! Bacon, sausages, potatoes, fruit, eggs made to order, coffee and tea, it was abundant! And you are welcomed by their team with songs and dance. And then there is the 'Loo with the View'! Make sure to check it out, even if you don't have to go! We had an amazing time with Shane and Bob and the team! And they even take pictures and send these to you afterwards!
If you are thinking about booking: stop thinking and hit that book button, you won't regret it!

My wife and I took our 2 young kids on the Miracle experience Balloon and it was one of the best experiences of our lives. The whole package from the view of the sunrise to the actual balloon ride itself followed by an amazing breakfast was an experience we will never forget. The service throughout the entire experience was unrivalled throughout our stay in Tanzania. When we return we will be sure to try the whole experience again.

The balloon ride was one of the highlights of our trip - simply amazing! Our family, including a 9 and 12 year old, loved the experience. We were able to see a number of animals - elephants, giraffes, crocodiles, zebras - and of course, wildebeest. It was really neat to see the wildebeest run and scatter as our balloon soared above them.

I had never been on a balloon before, and didn't know what to expect. Once up in the air, it's very quiet and peaceful, and because you're moving with the wind, it doesn't feel windy or bumpy at all, so no fear of motion sickness.

The breakfast was good, and the entertainment/crew incredibly nice and engaging. A great experience overall.

Hi Jenny,

We're very pleased to read your review. It was a pleasure having you and your family on board and we're happy to know that they enjoyed the experience to the most.

We're happy to know that they got to see lots of animals and the great migration as well. A sight they will never forget.

A balloon safari is one of the most peaceful and smoothest experiences in the Serengeti, causing no disturbance to the animals below you.

Once again, it was great having you all on board and we hope to fly with you again in the future.

Our guide chose Miracle Experience for our balloon ride over the Serengeti. What a great choice. Super service from the moment they picked us up at Shuhudia Camp to the breakfast finale after the ride. Bucket list tick and what a tick. This company know how to look after you. Highly recommend.

This experience should not be missed: witnessing sun rise in Serengeti, watching animals from the sky, is a fabulous experience and is worth every cent of the price of $ 450 (if you book through your agent) or about $ 600 if you book direct form the company. The ride lasts about 60 minutes which gives you an ample idea of how Serengeti looks from the air.
The ride finishes with an excellent breakfast and sparkling wine which is advertised as champagne.
