Serengeti Balloon Safaris launch brand new film – Touching the Sky Celebrating over 35 years flying in Tanzania

Serengeti Balloon Safaris (SBS) is delighted to announce the launch of our new brand film – ‘Touching the Sky’. The film celebrates Serengeti Balloon Safari’s incredible story since it was founded over 35 years ago by Tony Pascoe and Colin MacKinnon who were true pioneers bringing ballooning to Tanzania for the very first time.

‘Touching the Sky’, filmed, edited and produced by South African based company Love Africa, captures the true essence of what Tony and Colin sought to create all those years ago – A pioneering company seeking to offer the very best experience possible creating memories people will never forget. For Colin and Tony and all the SBS team, this film explains how SBS has grown from the dream of two, slightly bonkers (!) Englishmen into a thriving Tanzanian company employing over 150 Tanzanian staff, which has trained the very first Tanzanian pilot and has even trained Tanzania’s first ballooning examiner. The film also looks ahead to the future of what Serengeti Balloon Safaris can continue to bring to the Tanzanian safari industry and the precious natural world in which we fly. By continuing to support important conservation and wildlife protection schemes, community projects and personnel development goals, SBS wants to continue the bold dreams of Colin and Tony, taking the business forward in a sensitive and yet positive way.

What really comes across in the true heart of this film is passion – It was passion that founded SBS against all the odds and today it is passion which drives each and every team member to continue to deliver the pinnacle of what a balloon safari means.

Perhaps this is why we won the highly prestigious award as the World’s Leading Balloon Ride Operator 2024 (World Travel Awards) and it is why we are on the short list again for this year!

John Corse, MD of Serengeti Balloon Safaris commented;

“We are incredibly proud of this film which truly explains the rich heritage of our company along with our evident passion and vision for the next 35 years!”

Please enjoy our film, may it transport you back to the time you flew with us or help you dream of when you do!

Asante – the Serengeti Balloon Safaris Team.
