$450/person
Balloon flights typically take off at 6.30am. Passengers arrive in time to watch the balloon inflation as the pilots torch the coloured fabric to life.
The flight is for one hour, each one different path and following the days prevailing winds.
A Balloon flight allows passengers to float over the world's most spectacular Tarangire National Park, where you will find two of the "Giants of African Wilderness": the Elephants and the Baobab Trees, and the other.
On landing, the balloon crew set up a full champagne breakfast complete with "Bloody Mary's" next to Tarangire River. Each passenger then receives a certificate from their pilot as a special memoir of their flight.
A game drive en route to the lodge or the main gate ends a special morning.
Adventures Aloft has a fleet of Cameron balloons, consisting of two A415 balloons with a flying capacity of 16 passengers each and is able to fly 32 passengers a day.
A holiday surcharge applies over Christmas and New Years.
