For an experience of a lifetime, it’s essential to fly with the best. At Sherpa Travels, we’ve been curating exceptional balloon safaris for years, creating unforgettable memories that combine our extensive experience, meticulous attention to detail, and a genuine passion for making your flight truly extraordinary.

As pioneers of ballooning in Tanzania, we bring decades of expertise into every element of your balloon safari, ensuring the most memorable day possible. Our deep knowledge of the regions we fly over, from the local wind patterns to the unique conditions that can transform an average flight into a remarkable one, sets us apart.

Attention to detail is what distinguishes us. From seamless logistics and the design of our balloons to the expertise of our pilots and the quality of the breakfast we serve, every aspect is thoughtfully considered. Safety checks, the choice of cutlery, and more all play a vital role in creating a flawless experience.

Our pilots are the most experienced and knowledgeable in Tanzania. They know the area inside and out – its history, wildlife, and ecosystem – and they’re passionate about sharing these insights with you. Sherpa Travels’ Chief Pilot, Capt. Abeid Soka, has earned the distinction of being Tanzania’s first-ever examiner for all balloon pilots, appointed by the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority.

All of our balloons are fully licensed and undergo annual inspections by the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority. With our own fully equipped maintenance facilities and factory-certified technicians, who receive ongoing training in Europe, we ensure that every flight is not only memorable but also safe and reliable.
