Miracle Experience Balloon Safaris Reviews 

Urgent warning,
As a group of six people, we booked the balloon safari through African Safari Expert. 450 euros per person. There were already rising winds, and at first we were told the flight might be cancelled.
However, the balloon pilot decided to go ahead with the flight. The landing was a nightmare: travelling at 40 kilometres per hour, he executed a landing that effectively used the passengers lying in the lower rows – myself included – as human brakes. Not only were we dragged 100 metres across the Serengeti, but I also banged my head twice – no helmet, no headband – and that was the end of it. I suffered a cervical spine injury and am still having nightmares about it today. A doctor who’d been promised couldn’t be found because, as our guide informed us, he was extremely busy – a passenger had suffered life-threatening injuries and had to be airlifted out. After I googled this operator in more detail, it became clear that, according to ‘Visitor DDR’, this operator had already been involved in similar crashes. Aline Krause, Chair of costumer

Our hot air balloon flight with Miracle Experience Tanzania was an excellent way to see the Serengeti. Drifting quietly above the plains provided a unique perspective of the sunrise and allowed us to watch animals moving through their natural habitat from above. The morning ended with a beautiful three-course breakfast out in the bush. The very friendly and professional crew added to the experience with their great energy, singing and fun. They also have a "Loo with a View" on site, which adds to the memories.
It was a well-organised trip (which included professional photos), making it a unforgettable expense and I would definitely recommend

Safari in the Sky Balloon Safaris delivered an absolutely phenomenal experience! On December 3, 2025, we soared over Tarangire National Park with pilot Danford, who is truly exceptional. His ability to fly the balloon so smoothly while sharing fascinating insights about the wildlife, trees, and terrain below was incredible.

We were lucky enough to spot lions, elephants, giraffes, and several other animals, and seeing them from above was beyond thrilling. Because of civil unrest happening at the time, we had a private balloon ride, just the two of us. While it could have been fun to have more people helping spot animals, Danford’s expert eye more than made up for it — he pointed out animals we would have completely missed.

This experience wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing ground crew, who handled everything from balloon setup to safety checks flawlessly. After the flight, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast with pastries, eggs, hot dishes, vegetables, and drinks. The setup was incredibly well organized, complete with Wi-Fi and pristine restrooms.

They even went above and beyond by surprising my husband with a birthday cake and song, since his birthday was coming up. We were treated to coffee, tea, and desserts before the flight and champagne afterward to celebrate. This was a luxury, world-class operation — easily 10 stars!

We did the Miracle Experience Tanzania balloon ride over the Seronera Serengeti and it was fabulous! We were a little apprehensive at first but our pilot Amanda and the team are amazing and listening to the safety briefing quickly settled our nerves. Take-off and landing are such fun! We saw so much wildlife and the views are just incredible. The breakfast afterwards was fantastic too. And as for the 'loo with a view' - you have to experience it to believe it! I would highly recommend Miracle Experience - it was outstanding from start to finish.

The balloon ride over the Serengeti with Captain Cameron was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We absolutely loved it and enjoyed every moment. It’s something we would not have wanted to miss. A big thank you to Captain Cameron and the entire crew for making it so special!

An amazing experience from the moment we arrived to the launch site until we left the Bush Breakfast. We could not have asked for a better morning. First of all the accommodations and amenities in the middle of the Serengeti before the sun began to shine was amazing. Coffee, cookies, tea and a loo were available to everyone anxiously awaiting the journey ahead. The team was extremely thorough when providing instructions and pointing out safety needs during our flight. From the minute we left the earth, our outstanding pilot, Jonesy was able to identify several groups of animals as we floated with the clouds. The most outstanding moment came when Jonesy spied a dark line on the horizon and expertly guided our path using nothing but the winds aloft to the most amazing site we have ever seen. The close we glided to this gigantic shadow, the more it became clear we were about to experience something amazing. The sound of zebras barking and wildebeests buzzing and humming could be heard and seen as far as the eye could see. The Great Migration was taking place as it has for centuries and we were floating a mere small distance above the scene. The excitement of our pilot at the experience only added to our realizing that we were enjoying an unusual occurrence. As we floated above the migration, and the sun was rising above the clouds, we witnessed the most amazing site of wildlife imaginable. We were still in disbelief as we set down safely and toasted our successful return to earth with a tradition dating back to the inventors and pilots of the first hot air balloonists. We thought we had seen it all. That is until we arrived at our brunch location, complete with song and dance from our chase crew and some of the best food on the Serengeti. The loo with a view was amazing and we could not have asked for a more outstanding experience.

One of the best things I have ever experienced. The highlight of my Tanzania trip without question.

It has been an unforgettable experience. You have to get up early but it's worth it. We saw many animals and the sunrise is incredible. the breakfast served in the middle of the savannah is amazing.

My first hot air balloon ride and what a magical experience it was! My friends and I got to see the incredible views, migration well as a lion hunting, all from above! To top it off the breakfast was delicious and staff were wonderful! Thanks to Captain Ali, Victor and the team for an unforgettable experience!

An experience "Above" expectations!
Seeing wildlife and breathtaking nature close by is amazing.
Seeing it from above is just incredible.
We enjoyed very much our experience in the Hot Air Balloon. Hovering above the most unique wildlife is so nice. We were lucky enough to experience a lion hunting and the great migration on our one hour trip.
Also the breakfast in the bush after was so delicious and luxury, especially considering where we were.
Would definitely recommend!

This experience was incredible!! To watch the wildlife from above was breathtaking! You came much closer to the animals than expected.
The calm felling of flying over the savannah and watching the sunrise was magical.
We had such a great and skilled pilot, that made the whole experience much better.
This was a dream come true! I definitely recommend it.

Where to start?! This experience was beyond words!
The sunrise was breathtaking, the pilot was so kind and skilled, the views were unbeatable, witnessing the migration left me speechless and the breakfast afterwards was delicious!
(Oh and I would almost forget, the toilet has the best view ever!)

Thank you for this wonderful experience!
