Stone Town is a very lively place where you’ll find a mixture of Arabic, African, Indian and European cultures living comfortably together. As you walk through the labyrinth of streets too narrow for cars to pass, you can see mosques, churches, and temples side to side.
While you wander around the city, your guide will take you on a historical and cultural journey through the old slave market, Darajani marketplace, the House of Wonders, the Old Fort, and the Sultan’s Palace. Tour also includes a lunch in a restaurant or in a local house, if agreed beforehand.
While the tour is only half a day, we recommend you to stay in Stone Town for at least two days to discover many more magnificent wonders. Forodhani Gardens is definitely worth a visit, especially at night when it comes alive as one of the best street food markets in East Africa.

I didn't want to miss this tour when I was in Serengeti, my plane was departing at 9:00 from seronera, Burigi Chato Safaris arranged a one hour balloon tour before I get transferred to seronera airstrip.Really I loved the experience.

While in Serengeti we also did Balloon Safari. I saw the big five animals and watched a cheetah stalk and chase its prey from the balloon. we shot numerous photos. We watched elephants cross the river in the morning. I think we saw all of the animals at one time or another.

Serengeti National Park game drive also is fantastic due to the fact that you feel really in an ancient world. On the other side, The Serengeti Balloon tour is also fantastic as you spot biggest amount of animals above from the balloon. Accommodations where perfect in any place, even too much comfortable. I recommend Burigi Chato Safaris for Serengeti Balloon Safari.

We spent more than a hour for Serengeti Balloon Safari in Serengeti National Park thoroughly enjoyed being able to watch the animals in their native habitat from the balloon. We saw packs of big cats, millions of wildebeests several times as well as breeding herds of elephants with tiny newborn babies. Looking out over the plains at herds of antelope was really thrilling.

In my review of Serengeti Balloon Safari you will see why I rate Serengeti so highly as a Balloon Safari destination. Overall, the Guides are remarkably friendly and proud of their National Park. The scenic beauty, isolation, and unspoiled expanses of land are worth the trip.

I never felt in danger, and everyone was always happy to help you out. We camped at numerous locations throughout the Serengeti National Park and never had an issue. Beautiful scenery and wonderful people. I really recommend Burigi Chato Safaris for Serengeti Balloon Safari.

I flew myself and a friend into Serengeti balloon Safari. This was an amazing experience with the most beautiful wildlife. Everyone who saw aerial wildlife photos asked how I snapped them. I told them this is everything about Serengeti Balloon. The staff was awesome and I ate like a king! Can't wait!! Thank you, Burigi Chato Safaris for being a true to me!

Serengeti Balloon Tour is a "trip of a lifetime," but one that I need to repeat, because, I did Serengeti balloon in Central Serengeti, I would need to do it again in Northern Serengeti. For the first time, I "get" Africa. Photos and movies can't do it full justice. Its not really sightseeing so much as it's an experience, unlike any that I've ever had before.
