Batwa Cultural Experience at Bwindi Forest National Park
Balloon Safari in Uganda
Discover the fascinating landscapes of Uganda from the sky with a balloon safari with Uganda Horizon Safaris!
Float above Uganda’s wilderness at sunrise and witness nature like never before. A hot air balloon safari over Queen Elizabeth National Park is one of the most magical wildlife experiences in East Africa – and Uganda Horizon Safaris invites you to experience this breathtaking aerial journey.
As the golden morning light touches the savannah and the mist lifts from the Kazinga Channel, you’ll soar quietly above herds of elephants, grazing buffaloes, and perhaps even spot lions on the move. This is not just a safari – it’s a moment of pure wonder.
Queen Elizabeth National Park is one of Uganda’s most iconic safari destinations, renowned for its rich biodiversity, tree-climbing lions, and scenic beauty. From the air, the landscape unfolds like a living canvas: crater lakes, lush plains, riverine forests, and wildlife roaming freely below.
