Nothing will beat this experience I loved every moment - This has been the best life experience I have had so far and as I wanted it so bad since 2022, am glad that this year I have been able to achieve this dream. I will definately come back for more. Nyssa experience is not to miss, our amazing captain Murat is simply the best! We fell in love with the balloon experience.
Job so well done Nyssa!

Best balloon safari - Best balloon trip. The pilot was very informative and took time to take us down closer to see the animals. Bonus our flight time was longer than expected and we got free photographs. We were served with a beautiful breakfast afterwards. Food was very well cooked, location in the jungle was spectacular with amazing views even from the toilet. I would highly recommend this tour for families l, couples or even single travellers. You won’t feel alone

A Magical Journey Above the Serengeti - Our experience with Nyssa Balloon Safaris was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Every detail was meticulously planned, and everything was executed to perfection to ensure an unforgettable experience.

Balloon Safari over Serengeti - Had the best time here doing the balloon safari. They picked us up at 4.30 am at the lodge. On the way to the balloon, we had the best night safari. We got to see all the animals at night. We saw zebras, giraffe, wildebeest, prides of lions, hares etc. The guide who picked us up was very knowledgeable about animals and it was a pleasure listening to him. He was accompanied by a spotter who also did a great job finding animals. Getting to see the vast plains of the Serengeti at sunrise is a memorable experience that you will cherish forever. There is nothing quite like it. I don't think I will ever be on a balloon ride this good. Captain Seyit has over 15 years of experience and made everyone comfortable. His landing was smooth like 🧈. The offer beverages before the flight. After the flight, you get to enjoy a lavish breakfast by chef Joyce which was delicious. They also provide champagne and a flight certificate. This was one of the highlights of the trip. You will see multiple balloons take off with you. We went to about 6000 ft and also really close to the ground. There is also a photographer who will email you the photos taken. You don't realize how vast the Serengeti is till you take this ride. The conversations we had with captain were very entertaining as well. Since he has flown all over the world, his stories are captivating. We were a group of 6 in total from all over the world and had a fun time. There were clear instructions given. You are strapped in with a safety belt too. Very safe! Thank you to everyone here that made our time special. Kudos to you!

Once in a lifetime experience over the Serengeti - We had an amazing experience on the Nyssa Luxury Balloon adventure in Tanzania. We were picked up from our lodge very early, and shuttled to the launch area. We were served coffee as we watched the sun rise.
Loading into the basket was a little challenging for me - I don't have very long legs and I had to "climb" up to one of the top sections. The basket is on its side to begin with - you are kind of laying down when you originally get going. I was not expecting that, but I managed ok. We were traveling with an older friend (77) and she was loaded into the lower compartment, so she had no trouble getting in.
Once the balloon was completely inflated, we started to turn "right side up" and started gliding over the Serengeti. We never went extremely high - stayed just above the tree line for most of the 50 minute ride. Our pilot said it was better to see the animals from the lower positioning - he was correct! We saw lots of animals as well as beautiful scenery.
After a bit of a "bumpy" landing - we were treated to champagne & our crew sang and danced for us. The buffet breakfast was much fancier than I had anticipated. Lots of choices. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and they brought out a surprise cake for us - so fun!
In conclusion, I would highly recommend this balloon experience.

Totally fresh perspective of Safari - We have started our day early, before 6am, but we have seen hienas at sunrise on the way. At the spot there was hot tea, cookies, coffee, plus camping type of toilet available. We have seen how the baloon was being prepared, it’s a good occasion to take great pictures! For all the nervous flyers out there, baloon flight is incredibly smooth, the pilot was explaining everything. You barely feel any change in altitude. Low sun, long shadows of trees and animals, beautiful views, it made a great experience. Landing was done close to the road, in a very safe way. Then there was celebration after landing and time to take some more pictures! Decent selection of breakfast foods afterwards (plus really kind servers) with beautiful area around nature. Overall I really recommend to take the experience as it’s a special way to see nature!
