ITINERARY- BRIEF
We begin by picking you up from your hotel/lodge. This will be handled by our consultant guides at a
pre-specified time so as to ensure arrival at our launch area by approximately 6am. This gives you
enough time to enjoy some hot Tanzania coffee and tea with homemade cookies. A mobile toilet/sink
and free Wi-Fi are available for you to use at your disposal. During this time, the pilot will brief you
on essential safety measures and the launch and landing procedures. This will be followed by a
briefing on what to expect during the balloon inflation process. Hint: the view may leave you
mesmerized.
Boarding will commence at around 6:30am. There are two types of boarding procedures. The basket
will either be laid sideways or stand up-right.*
After you elevate from the ground, it is probable that you will witness a magnificent African sunrise.*
During the flight, you will have an uninterrupted birds eye view of the vast plain of the Serengeti (it
will become apparent why the local Maasai refer to it as Serengeti- endless plains). The pilot will make
valiant attempts to spot the game for you and even lower the balloon to allow you the opportunity for
a better viewing. He may raise the balloon for improved speeds/direction as well as breathtaking
views.
Enjoy the tranquility as the balloon glides; every little sound is amplified. Hot coffee/tea and cookies
continue to be served during the flight, which usually lasts around 1 hour, give or take 15 minutes.*
Landing is contingent on the landscape of the area as well as the weather conditions. The basket could
tip over, and/or have a few bumps before coming to a halt. However, most of the time, it is as smooth
and soft as the flight itself. Once you disembark, you will experience the joys of a champagne
celebration followed by a little history guide on how this tradition came to fruition.
After, you will be driven to our carefully selected bush breakfast area. Our butlers will warmly
welcome you to enjoy a scrumptious plated breakfast. Please ensure that you have provided us with
any specific dietary requirements in advance so as to help us cater to your specific needs.
Post breakfast, you will be presented with exclusive certificates after which our drivers will take you
to an agreed upon meeting point (here, you meet up with your guide and continue with your itinerary).
Should you require any further arrangements, please let us know beforehand to ensure that we plan
accordingly.
The Airstrips are a 10 to 15 minute drive from our breakfast area. For clients with a flight to catch at
around 9:30am, this is very manageable. Remember that check-in at the airstrip is quick and simple.
Please notify us if this case applies to you and we will prepare your breakfast preferentially.

We went on a 3 day safari-trip with Safari Njema Adventures in July. We had such a good time. Very sweet and competent drivers/guides, well planed tour and the lodges was just lokated so breathtaking that they where an experience by them self. And we had plenty and good food. Would definitely youse this company to plan my next safari, but would like more days 🙂

Safari Njema Adventures arranged us a fantastic three days safari trip. They got us the funniest and most informative drivers/guides. The cars had a fridge and it was possible to charge your phone in the car. In some special areas of the parks it was possible to pop off the roof making room for standing up in the car. It was amazing
