Today you will be awakened by an early morning cup of tea or coffee at 5.30am then you are driven to the take-off site where you meet your fully qualified pilot. As dawn breaks watch the rainbow-colored balloon slowly fill with air and rise into the air.
Balloon safari in the Masai Mara is one of the most magical experiences you can take part in when visiting the Masai Mara. Enjoy a bird’s eye-view of the wildlife below and afterwards descend to a scenic champagne breakfast cooked on the balloons burners and served on the savannah plains.
When all is ready, you will be helped into the stout wicker basket (a typical balloon carries around 8-16 passengers and is equipped with seats and safety belts), the sandbags will be cast off, and the balloon will rise into the cool of the morning air.
The balloon will fly for a period of around 45 minutes (trailed by a team of ground vehicles). Then, as the morning sun rises, it will descend to a gentle controlled-landing on the plains.
Celebrate your flight with a glass of chilled champagne then you will receive your ‘flight certificate’ from your balloon pilot, before sitting down to a full English breakfast, cooked on the burners of the balloon. Afterwards enjoy a leisurely game-drive back to the Camp where you relax until lunch is served.
After lunch, relax at the hotel for a while then proceed for an evening game drive at 4pm when it is cool and chances of spotting wild game are highest. We will return back to the hotel in the evening after sunset in good time for dinner and overnight.
