Masai mara Balloon safaris Balloon game drive in masai mara
The feeling is indescribable, crispness of the African air, chill in the wind that hits your face as your Mara hot air balloon gradually raises, smoothness in the exhale of your breath, and the excitement to see and learn more. One's physical presence can be felt on the plains of the Masai Mara when reading this.
Hot air balloon flights take place in scenic beauty of Maasai Mara. A gentle ascent takes you well above tree-top level and the whispering light breeze soothes the hearts as you enjoy a panoramic view of wildlife drama unequalled anywhere in the whole wide world. Thrilling drama of nature's battle of predators verses the preys, that is constantly displayed in the savanna grassland from time immemorial.
Your trip begins when you get your wake up call at your safari lodge or tented camp in the early hours of the morning, as you yawn away, and thoughts about your wildlife viewing from an elevated position begins to stir your mind. The fresh Kenyan traditional hot tea and coffee quickly awaken you, in fact preparing you for a "mission".
You'll be waken up before dawn and driven over the veldt at night through the great activity of the predawn hunts. At sunrise, you'll board a beautiful gondola (hot air balloon) and start rising over the great herds of the Mara silently into the sky. The ride lasts about an hour, traveling with the gentle western winds. Few animals look up, so you have a remarkable opportunity to get close and watch the animals without disturbing them.
By 7.20 a.m., one is very content with balloon safari and a lot has been seen, and it is almost touch down time. There is a celebration, and for those who prefer a toast, champagne is served, as hot breakfast in the bush is being prepared. As the sweetness and aroma of the African coffee surrounds you, with fresh eggs being served as you like it, you hope for another ride, and wish that such luxury never ended. The balloon lands where fate places it and track vehicles immediately set out a beautiful champagne breakfast at that very spot where the balloon lands and you enjoy the luxury of the early explorers as uniformed waiters serve you an elegant meal. Afterwards, we take a game drive back to the camp for lunch.
By 9.00 a.m., you have been declared a champion, a mighty certificate of completion handed out to you which you hope to display in your home country, to family, friends or coworkers. Clapping and participation by everyone present makes you proud to have achieved a trip as wonderful as this.
Later at 4:15pm you will take a flight back to Nairobi to arrive at 5:45pm where you will be met by our representative at Wilson airport and be transferred to the carnivore restaurant after this co memorable dinner, you'll be escorted to the Jomo Kenyatta Airport for a flight back home
