Maasai Mara hot air balloon safari
Do this because
- Enjoy a panoramic view of the Maasai Mara National Reserve and watch the wildlife from a bird's eye view
- Unique experience - definitely something to write home about
- Make your friends back home envious with great photo ops
What to expect
This is the ultimate way to view wildlife in Africa. You will be woken up before dawn and head to the balloon staging area, often in a remote location. You are provided a safety briefing by the pilot as the crew inflates the envelope. Taking off as the sun rises, you will drift quietly above plains, rivers and forests while gazing at spectacular scenery and with luck, take some incredible photographs.
The flight is approximately one hour and gives a ‘birds-eye’ experience to game-watching which many find to be the climax of their safari. On landing in the middle of nowhere there will be a shared full bush-style breakfast set up served with Champagne, with a table decked in silver cutlery, fresh Kenyan coffee, tea and fruits. It is a truly magical experience.
