Our ride was promptly there at 5 am to pick us up and we drove an hour through the pitch-black Serengeti plains towards our launch site for our hot air balloon safari in Serengeti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

In minutes the basket turned upright and we were floating gently towards the clouds. We didn\u2019t get very high up just a few trees up when one of the passengers asked \u2013 how high will we get to. The captain smiled and said maybe 3 trees high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon, we were drifting slowly over the Serengeti plains, calmly in the silence of the African dawn.&nbsp; Speechlessly watching the big orange ball come up against the horizon. In the morning light, we saw a cheetah run, maybe it was running away from the balloon.&nbsp; It was a unique perspective to see this animal move through the tall grass, something you can&#8217;t see on a land safari.&nbsp; <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/photodiary\/masai-mara-great-migration\/\" target=\"_blank\">Back in Kenya, we had seen a coalition of five cheetahs<\/a> come together for a hunt.

glides over the endless golden landscape.&nbsp; But alas all good things have to come to an end. Eventually, the pilot landed the balloon softly on the grass, where champagne was waiting for us and orange juice for the kids. It was 8 am\u2026 and the day has only just begun. After some champagne, we got into our jeeps again and were led to a clearing under a tree where a Champagne bush breakfast was waiting for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we were told we would be having a bush breakfast, this is not what I had imagined.&nbsp; The breakfast setup looked like it was for a wedding brunch.&nbsp; A wedding brunch under an acacia tree!  There were tables with green table linens and china and silverware.&nbsp; We were offered water to wash our hands before sitting down for breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"11471\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/travel\/africa\/tanzania\/hot-air-balloon-safari-in-serengeti\/attachment\/serengeti_balloon17\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Serengeti_Balloon17.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"8256,5504\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D850&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1532999401&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;62&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Serengeti_Balloon17\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Serengeti_Balloon17-1024x683.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Serengeti_Balloon17-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Serengeti_Balloon17-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Hot air balloon safari in Serengeti #Serengeti #Tanzania Photo by Priya Vin for OutsideSuburbia\" class=\"wp-image-11471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Serengeti_Balloon17-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Serengeti_Balloon17-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Serengeti_Balloon17-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Serengeti_Balloon17-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Champagne breakfast in Serengeti<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Over champagne and coffee, we visited with other passengers.&nbsp; There were sixteen of us in each balloon and about eight balloons lifted off that morning.&nbsp; The couple next to us was from Brazil and they convinced us that we need to make it to Patagonia and Chile soon.&nbsp; We met another family who had done a hot air balloon ride in Luxor, Egypt and told us how amazing the Pyramids are when viewed from a balloon basket.
