Today’s flights
Kirawira
20 October 2025
This morning’s flight in Kirawira began under clear skies and gentle winds, with one balloon rising gracefully just in time for a breathtaking sunrise. We floated peacefully over the plains toward the Grumeti River, following its winding path for the entire flight before crossing into open grasslands for a smooth stand-up landing near our breakfast site. Wildlife sightings were abundant and magical gazelles, waterbuck, topi, hippos in and out of the water, crocodiles, and a variety of bird species. Guests also spotted impalas, Cape buffalo, elephants, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, baboons, vervet monkeys, colobus monkeys, a civet cat, and a majestic male lion surveying the plains. After landing, guests were welcomed with a celebratory champagne toast and treated to our signature SBS bush breakfast, served with warmth and care. It was a morning filled with beauty, serenity, and unforgettable moments in the heart of the Serengeti.
