Hot air ballooning in the Masai Mara

A Masai Mara safari experience in Kenya is one of our favourite holidays, but to make it truly unforgetable, you might want to add a hot air balloon safari.

It's just before dawn and your hot air ballooning adventure is about to begin. Bleary eyed, your senses are awoken by the sound of roaring flames and the sight of a the balloon being inflated before your very eyes.

Whilst your craft is being prepared you'll have a briefing from the crew. Dawn breaks and your flight is ready to takeoff.

As you rise slowly above the Masai Mara you'll appreciate the vastness of the landscape and the great vantage point you now hold. Enjoying this totally new perspective wildlife viewing and photo opportunities become priority.

Then relax! enjoy the view as you float effortlessly through the air suspended underneath your beautiful craft. Take in all the views and sights during your 45 - 60 minute flight. Moments to cherish for a lifetime.

As your balloon comes in to land and you think your adventure is over, don't fret, it's not!

Whilst you've been up in the air the ground crew have been keeping tracks on you. Once they've worked out your landing location they create the traditional end of flight meal, a beautiful champagne breakfast. Take in the experience over a nice chilled glass of champagne.

It's still not over. You need to get back to camp, and the best way to do that is on a game drive! The rest of the morning is spent slowly heading back to your accommodation taking in all available wildlife viewing.
