Uganda balloon safaris have been recently introduced as a tourist activity by the Uganda Wildlife Authority in 2011 and certified by the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority in two national parks in Uganda. Air balloon safaris in Uganda are becoming increasingly popular. Hot air balloon safaris can only be done at Murchison Falls National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park, offering an incredible experience where travelers can view numerous animals while in the air.

Balloon Safaris pilots have to go through the Egyptian and Ugandan Aviation Authorities for certification before they are authorized to operate the balloon safaris in these national parks. Balloon safari pilots are trained to fill the balloon with air to carry the most weight possible. However, Ugandan air balloon safaris are now permitted to fly with a maximum of eight passengers. Uganda hot air balloon safaris age limit is up to a minimum of six years of age, considering that the balloon flight goes up to a height of 10,000 feet above sea level, which might not be good for younger children.

Hot Air Balloon safaris at Murchison Falls National Park reward visitors with endless panoramic general scenic views of the Murchison Falls National Park landscape, Off-road hidden animals, Lake Albert and Victoria Nile views, and all other remarkable features such as bush breakfast experiences in the jungle, pickups from your accommodation facility, and participation certificates. While on your trip to Murchison Falls National Park, the Hot air balloon safari should not be missed on your travel list.
