anzania has steadily woven its way onto the global stage as a leading destination for balloon safaris.
As Africa’s premier safari destination, home to the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and other iconic wildlife landscapes, Tanzania beat contenders from Dubai and Europe to scoop the world’s top balloon safari honours.
This year, the Kingdom of Bahrain hosted the World Travel Awards, a prestigious platform where leading global travel destinations and operators compete for international recognition.
Amid the ceremony, Serengeti Balloon Safaris emerged as the Best Balloon Ride Operator Worldwide 2025.
The accolade represented more than a triumph for a single company. It underscored Tanzania’s growing stature as a world-class tourism destination and reinforced the country’s reputation for delivering exceptional safari experiences.
The Arusha-based operator, whose flights drift above the vast Serengeti plains is one of the world’s most celebrated national parks and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
