Balloon safari at dawn above Nyerere (Selous) – Rufiji channels, miombo and hippo country from the air.

Nyerere National Park – formerly the Selous Game Reserve – offers a rare southern balloon flight over miombo woodland, oxbow lakes and the Rufiji system. From the basket you may see elephant, buffalo, hippo pods and the vast scale of Africa’s largest national park.

Combine with boat safaris on the Rufiji for a complete water-and-air perspective. Wild Gaze plans balloon mornings around your lodge location and river activities.
