Balloon Safari Bush Breakfast — Bush Breakfast, Serengeti
The Serengeti hot air balloon safari ends with a bush breakfast on the plain — tables set directly on the Serengeti grass, a full English-style breakfast cooked over portable stoves, and champagne poured as the balloon deflates behind the guests. The journey to this breakfast takes one hour at altitude above the Great Migration.
The breakfast itself — eggs, bacon, grilled tomatoes, toast, fresh fruit, orange juice, and the champagne — is straightforward. The context makes it the most remarkable meal available in Africa and possibly anywhere: you have just spent an hour watching the Great Migration from 300 metres, drifting silently over the largest terrestrial wildlife spectacle on earth.
The landing site is chosen each morning by the pilot based on wind direction — it could be beside a lion pride, a wildebeest herd, or an open plain. The unpredictability is the point.
The champagne toast at the landing site, delivered in accordance with the aeronautical tradition that dates to the balloon's invention in 18th-century France, is one of the most earned celebratory drinks available to anyone anywhere.
