If you are looking for a safari holiday but do not fancy travelling around in a Jeep for hours on end then you may consider a safari holiday by air. These types of safari trips are becoming increasingly popular and offer an all new experience for people that want to try something new.

Scenic flights are available as specific activities in limited regions, though most safaris will include light aircraft transfers which will give you wonderful views of the local landscapes. Helicopter flights can be booked for game viewing as well as for scenic viewing over the Victoria Falls.

Hot-air balloon safaris are available in a number of spots, most famously operating over the rolling plains of Kenya’s Masai Mara and Tanzania’s Serengeti. If you do your research and book to go at the right time of the year you may even be lucky enough to see the Wildebeest migration from above. This is a scene not to be missed and even if you have seen this from the ground, seeing it from above is a whole new experience.

Do your research and find out what air safari trips are on offer before you go. You may want to try and book a flight in advance to make sure you get to go at the right time.
