Fantastic experience. Saw lion in the dark on the way to the launch site. Lovely friendly crew who talked us through the whole process. Lukasz was our guide, really friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone in the balloon took part in spotting the wildlife from the air, saw so many animals. Fun landing and great breakfast afterwards. Serenaded by staff with some great songs at the end. What an experience!

This was a really fun and interesting experience. We were picked up at our hotel by Mwahdini and driven to the farm, where we were met by Abdi and then taken on a tour by Glassman. He showed us all of the plants and told us about their uses while his assistant made beautiful hats and bags out of leaves and flowers. We had a delicious lunch, with a vegetarian and non-vegetarian option, and had the opportunity to buy spices and perfumes/soaps. It’s obviously made for tourists, but is just lovely.

My wife and I went on a balloon safari during our stay in Serengeti and it was incredible. I did one before with Miracle Experience during my last visit to Serengeti in 2022, and enjoyed it so much that I wanted to do it again....and I am very glad I did! It was an exhilarating ride and Serengeti from 1000 feet in the sky is an awe-inspiring experience. It looks very different from what it does at ground level and the vastness of the plains is breathtaking. Our pilot, Arturo, was excellent and he gave us a pleasant flight and a smooth landing. He also offered coffee during the flight and pointed out animals with his trained eye that we otherwise would have missed. The bush breakfast after landing was delicious and plentiful. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend going on a balloon safari with Miracle Experience.

We have just finished an incredible 5-day safari through Ngorongoro and the Serengeti as part of our honeymoon, and it was without a doubt one of the most amazing experiences we have ever had. While the incredible landscapes, wildlife and local culture made the trip unforgettable, our experience would not have been anywhere near as special without our guide, Raymond.From even before the safari began, Raymond was incredibly helpful, supportive and responsive. Throughout the entire trip, he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. Raymond is exceptionally knowledgeable, not only about the animals and their behaviour, but also about the parks, landscapes and local culture. His expertise meant that we learned so much while also getting to experience some truly incredible moments.What really stood out was how resourceful and dedicated Raymond was. He always seemed to know where to go and how to position the vehicle to give us the best possible views, and he genuinely went the extra mile to make sure we didn't miss anything. Whether it was finding animals that were difficult to spot, getting us into the perfect position for an incredible sighting, or simply making sure we were enjoying ourselves and have our favourite snacks to munch on, Raymond was constantly thinking about how to make our experience better.He was also incredibly considerate throughout the long safari days, always checking that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. His calm, friendly and thoughtful nature made spending five days together on the road an absolute pleasure. We felt completely looked after from start to finish.The lodges we stayed at were also fantastic, with beautiful views, comfortable tents and delicious food, which made the experience even more enjoyable.We cannot recommend this safari highly enough, and we would especially recommend Raymond as a guide. He was a huge part of what made our honeymoon so unforgettable, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had him with us. If you are booking a safari, we would absolutely recommend requesting Raymond — his knowledge, dedication and genuine care for his guests make him an exceptional guide.

We had the best time on our honeymoon safari with Raymond. He was incredibly knowledgeable, very hospitable, kind and fun to spend 5 days with. We were able to see the big 5 and the great migration TWICE. He knew the whole route from start to finish like the back of his hand. He knew every tree, river, lake etc. I couldn't recommend Raymond and Nature's Land Safari enough - from picking us up in Arusha to the full 5 days of safari it was more than we could have asked for. I will definitely be recommending any friends and family to use Nature's Land Safari and particularly Raymond! It was a joy to even have breakfast, lunches and dinners with Raymond where we got to know him on a personal level and understood more about the Tanzanian culture. Thank you giving us the best experience Raymond! 5 🌟 experience!!

We made a game drive in Ngorongoro Crater with our guides Alex and Omar. They were really friendly and told us interesting information about the animals and environment. We laughed a lot and i can only recommend it.

A great pilot. In the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. We were reassured during takeoff and landing. On the way, we were pointed out the animals and it turned out that beautiful photos of us had been taken

Amazing experience! Highly professional and friendly staff. Safety is their priority, we never felt concerned. The whole process was smooth and enjoyable from the initial briefing through the game drive to access the launch site through the trip and then the meal afterward. We were provided with several photos afterward. Touching down in the savannah for a champagne toast is a wonderful and thrilling experience never to be forgotten! I highly recommend Miracle Balloon Safaris!

I was slightly nervous doing a hot air balloon ride for the first time but there was no need to be worried. The team was 100% professional and I was even in the 20% of cases to have a smooth landing (not the norm). You get photos taken during the flight (no additional charge), an champagne drink once you land and an never ending brilliant breakfast service. Plus the toilet with a view. It's not cheap but definitely worth the price.

Fantastic experience, now we understand why they call it Miracle

Arturo great pilot and had great fun

This was my third balloonride and the least thrilling despite the surroundings: A) during pickup ride we came across a leopard that climed up a tree - the tree got surrounded by 10 jeeps that all shone powerful lights at the poor animal that kept climbing higher B) the start of the flight had to be restarted twice with none reassuring shorts of (”the rope is too Short, donwe have anothe (arent they Fixed length))” and ”Not blue, needs to be Red” (which color rope Will I pull at?) and we missed sunrise C) the route had 5 balloons on it and flew over very barren, dusty land near the village of Serona rather then bush, seemingly a very fixed route that is flown daily in large numbers. D) the balloon was kept at 20-100 m height requiring very frequent heating that visibly frightened every animal we saw. Last flying over a group of hippos at about 10 m ”you will get a good view of them here on the backside, when they come up for air”The captain was clearly experienced, loved the job and created a good atmosphere among tense passengers.The breakfast after was fabulous.I had anticipated a silent ride that would not frighten the animals, based on my two earlier rides at other locations. As with any safari its clear you don’t know how much and what animals Will be seem but the ground here seemed so barren it was surpricing to see!So in all a split experience, not the expected highlight, but clearly not something to leave undone either. Would look into options.

What can I say.. Absolutely amazing from the prebrieve at our tented camp and pickup to final delivery to our driver. Our pilot, Captain Baris, was just so professional and attentive. He ensured everybody was involved in a good time. All services were above and beyond from the welcomers to the flight team to the breakfast team and the breakfast itself. Cannot recommend Miracle balloon safari in Kogatenfe enough!!

★★★★★One of the Highlights of Our Tanzania Trip — A Disney-Level ExperienceOur balloon flight with Miracle Experience over the Serengeti was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Tanzania.The balloon flight itself was spectacular, but what impressed me just as much was the operation surrounding it. From the moment we were picked up until the experience was over, every detail seemed carefully thought out and professionally executed. The transportation, welcome, safety briefing, balloon crew, flight, landing and breakfast, were all handled exceptionally well.As a business owner, I tend to notice operational details, and Miracle Experience really stood out. It reminded me of Disney—not because of anything artificial or overly polished, but because the entire guest journey was designed so well. Every interaction felt organized, consistent, and focused on making the experience special.Floating over the Serengeti at sunrise was unforgettable, but delivering an experience at this level requires much more than a balloon and a beautiful location. Miracle Experience has clearly put considerable thought into every part of the operation.If you are visiting the Serengeti, I would highly recommend doing the balloon flight with Miracle Experience. It was worth it and remains one of our favorite memories from Tanzania.

We had a wonderful flight with great viewing and weather. Everything was perfect …. from pick up, excellent pilot and flight, great breakfast, wonderful ground crew and drop off! Highly recommended.

This was an amazing experience and if you are travelling to the Serengeti, a hot air balloon ride is an absolute must do. Within 5 minutes of being in the air we spotted wildebeest crossing the river! What a sight! The rest of the flight was just as exceptional and being so quiet and travelling at treetop height, we were able to see the animals closeup.The only downside was our driver who arrived 40 minutes late. He had overslept. Pretty disappointing especially when we had set the alarm and been up at 4am for the experience. Hopefully it was a one off and won’t happen to you.
