Description

Ndutu is one of the most magical wildlife regions in East Africa. In this place, the southern Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area merge into a seamless landscape of open grasslands, woodlands, lakes, and marshes. Its fame has grown among wildlife lovers, photographers, and safari experts, yet it remains less crowded and more intimate than the central Serengeti plains.

Information / FAQ's / Travel Guide

Is previous ballooning experience required?

Experience is not required. With Miracle Experience, everybody is welcome.

How do Hot Air Balloons fly?

In the presence of cool air, warm air rises. This is due to the fact that warm air is lighter than cool air as its mass is lower per unit of volume. Mass is defined in terms of how much matter an object contains. In order to lift-off the ground, a great amount of heated air is required; hence the envelope (actual balloon) has to be enormous.

What is the maximum height a balloon can fly?

The balloons will fly from ground level to around 915 metres (3000 feet) above ground level, depending on wind direction and speed. The max. altitude is 1830 metres (6000 feet) and is limited by the Tanzanian Civil Aviation Authority for Hot Air Balloons in the Serengeti.

What are the most suitable conditions for ballooning?

Balloons fly better in cooler weather, as the warm air gets a better ‘incline’ in those type of conditions. Balloon experts suggest flying before dusk or on the break of dawn due to the higher probability of friendlier wind speeds at these times.

Who regulates ballooning and guarantees safety standards?

This is controlled by the FAA- Federal Aviation Administration. This entity regulates ballooning as strictly as those regulations applied to airplanes.

I sometimes go through motion sickness on airplanes. Will ballooning be the same?

There is no need to worry. The turbulence you encounter on airplanes is completely non-existent in a Hot Air Balloon. The tranquillity and smoothness of a balloon flight is inexplicably calming!
