There’s no better way to experience a safari by doing a Hot air Balloon safari with BURIGI CHATO SAFARIS CO L.T.D, A sunrise hot-air balloon flight over the Serengeti sure is one of the most unforgettable and extraordinary adventures you can do and it’s definitely one of the main highlights of your safari. The hot-air balloon gently takes you up in the air and floats wherever the morning winds may take you. During the ride, you have a stunning and far-reaching view of the great plains of the Serengeti. You can spot big herds of wildebeest and Big-5 right below you. At the right time of year and with a good amount of luck you might even be able to experience the great migration. The dry season (June to October) is the ideal time for a hot-air balloon safari. During the rainy months (March, April & May), some balloon rides are still available, but the actual flight is dependent on weather conditions. During heavy rains and/or winds the balloon, unfortunately, can’t take off.

The well-established ‘Northern Circuit' safari of northern Tanzania offers some of the world’s most diverse safari experiences, consisting of National Parks, game reserves, conservation areas and private concessions. Among these are the world-famous and iconic Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, and of course their less well-known neighbours, Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara National Park. These parks exist for one general purpose and that is to protect the amazing variety and abundance of wildlife in them, both resident and seasonal - and most of all, the world’s largest annual migration of wildebeest and zebra. Although this part of the world has become increasingly busy as a result of its reputation, it is still possible to escape the crowds and find a quiet corner if you know where to go.

Located in Tanzania, Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s tallest mountain at about 5,895 meters (19,340 feet). It is the largest free-standing mountain rise in the world, meaning it is not part of a mountain range. Also called a stratovolcano (a term for a very large volcano made of ash, lava and rock), Kilimanjaro is made up of three cones: Kibo, Mawenzi and Shira. Kibo is the summit of the mountain and the tallest of the three volcanic formations. While Mawenzi and Shira are extinct, Kibo is considered dormant and could possibly erupt again. Scientists estimate that the last time it erupted was 360,000 years ago. The highest point on Kibo’s crater rim is called Uhuru, the Swahili word for “freedom.”

When many of us dream of an African Safari adventure, it’s the Serengeti our minds turn to, exotic images of megafauna roaming the African plains, left to their natural devices in fifteen thousand square kilometres of national park, an animal lover's dream come true, all thanks to the plethora of wildlife documentaries that have been filming the dynamic equilibrium of animal interactions within the park for the last eighty years, including David Attenborough, one of the most famous wildlife naturalists in the world. The Serengeti is truly a magical place that is an absolute must for any safari itinerary and due to the logistics of reaching the park, a minimum of two nights is highly recommended.
