Day 5 Serengeti Balloon Safari & Full Day
The highlight of your safari begins before dawn as you transfer to the balloon launch site.

As the sun rises, float above the wildlife below – herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle casting long shadows on the golden grasslands, elephants moving in family groups, and predators on the hunt. Land in the bush where a champagne breakfast awaits you under an acacia tree. After breakfast, continue with a full-day game drive across the Serengeti. Search for the Big Five and witness the incredible predator-prey interactions that make this ecosystem famous. Return to the Four Seasons Lodge as the sun sets.
