Great Balloon ride with breakfast over Tarangire
As part of a safari itinerary with Girls Guide to the World we did a sunrise hot air balloon ride and breakfast with Miracle Experience Balloon Safaris. What an awesome experience! The winds weren't very cooperative so we were the first group with Balloon Pilot David to have a "Boxed Flight" meaning we took off and landed in the same spot. None the less we had a fantastic flight seeing the country side and big game. We had a coffee and tea before lift off and celebrated with champagne after landing. The breakfast was also well prepared in a beautiful out door setting. There was also a Loo with a view

An amazing experience in Tarangire Park
We were impressed by this amazing experience in Tarangire Park and by Captain Moses and his crew, including Gabriel the driver who brought us at the ballon at 4h30. The time was stopped for an hour, the park showed us another point of view of it's majesty. And the incredible breakfast cooked for our arrival is as well as the rest of the travel. To be done with Miracle Experience

Absolutely incredible! Amazing pilot and staff!
I ’m so happy that we planned a hot air balloon ride over Tarangire National Park! It’s a must when traveling there!
The manger met with us at the lodge we were staying at the night before our hot air balloon ride. He was very kind and talked us through everything. Since we were in Tanzania celebrating our wedding anniversary he started to ask us about it. He said he asked because he wanted to plan something extra special for us. The manger picked us up very early the next morning and we headed to the balloon launch site. The staff was incredible! They offered us coffee, tea and a small snack before we departed. Our pilot, Jones Temba, was fantastic! He talked us through the take off and landing so we knew what to expect before we took off. He also helped spot all kinds of animals from the sky. We saw elephants, zebras, buffalo, wildebeest, ostriches and so much more! There was a go pro on board and Jones took some great pictures of all of us that were emailed to me the next day. After landing in the bush there was a champagne toast between me, my husband and Jones. From there the manager drove us to the spot where we were going to have breakfast. We had a delicious breakfast at a picnic ground with beautiful views of the Tarangire River. The staff surprised us with an anniversary cake and beautiful song after breakfast. Once breakfast was over we met with our guide and we started our bush drive for the day. The staff and service was exceptional!! I highly recommend Miracle Balloon for your hot air balloon safari!

Above and beyond in many ways!
National Park. The experience met and exceeded every expectation we had. The host, pilot, and crew were all very professional and we felt very safe. The experience includes all ground transportation needs from the lodge, pre-flight briefing & coffee/tea, sparkling wine and OJ at landing, and a breakfast par excellence! We would highly recommend it!

A Balloon Safari Over Tarangire
Wow, I can hardly put into words the breathtaking experience I had! Our skilled pilot maneuvered the balloon with such precision, taking us on an unforgettable journey over the captivating Tarangire landscape. Seeing the incredible wildlife from high above was truly awe-inspiring, and it left me in awe of nature's wonders. The post-flight breakfast was not only delicious but also a perfect opportunity to reflect on the incredible adventure we had just experienced. I want to express my heartfelt thanks for creating such a remarkable and unforgettable memory for me.

Tarangire Safari Hot Air Balloon Adventure
Start to finish this was a total win. A company rep picked my party up at the lodge and we headed out. They started at the launch site with coffee, a prefect balloon ride, transportation to a picnic site, and an excellent breakfast. Highly recommend. Jones Temba was informative on safety, and gave several updates and pointed out animals from the balloon. Perfect landing.

A truly miraculous experience
My mum booked this experience for my brother and I and I can honestly say that it’s one I’ll cherish forever. Being in the Serengeti itself is mindblowing and it’s difficult to imagine a way to elevate that experience but Miracle Balloon Experience Safaris did just that (pun not intended).

I’ve been on a balloon safari before with a different company in Tarangire some years ago and while that was fun, everything pales in comparison to my time with Miracle Balloon Experience Safaris.

I despise early mornings so the early start made me skeptical initially but it was more than worth it. From the wonderfully knowledgable guide to the modern, spacious safari car that picked us up just before dawn and transported us to the launch site where we were welcomed by a lovely team who supplied us with some much needed coffee to the simply stunning balloon safari we were taken on by the lovely flight crew all the way to the incredible breakfast we were given - this experience was more than worth the early wake up time.

We had a really delicious bush breakfast and they even made my mum a truly scrumptious chocolate cake as a surprise for her birthday. The loo with a view (you have to be there to understand it) made me laugh but I actually spotted a few giraffes so the safari really is constant.

I also managed to purchase a really warm and stunning green miracle balloon coat which I’ll definitely be wearing a lot now that I’m back in the UK.

While the facilities like the glass-floored balloon were top notch, I’d have to say that what really pulled it all together was the truly pleasant staff and their impressive attention to detail. It’s one thing to have great facilities, but to have to complemented by a team of staff who seem to truly love and care about their job is another thing entirely.

Well done Miracle Balloon Experience Safaris!! I couldn’t recommend you guys enough.

A great experience
Having been on a balloon safari in Masai Mara, Kenya and Tarangire, Tanzania I thought I knew what to expect and I was just going to do this for the sake of getting the job of making sure internet worked at all areas needed.
I was pleasantly mesmerised by the experience I had. I loved the option of having coffee and tea with the authentic cookies before launch. I enjoyed the lighting and witnessing the inflation of the balloon. The take off was fun but what would make me want to do this again is definitely the feeling I had in the air. The floating silent glide over the vastness just took me to another plateau of inner peace. Mesmerising almost hypnotic. Then you see the wildlife below and basically landing is what made me feel I had gone back to reality. The breakfast there after was entertaining, fun and plentiful. More like a brunch. Come with an appetite is what I would recommend. The staff are so happy and contagious with their happy vibe.
I could go on and on. But all in all it is truly a Miracle Experience. Will be back!!
