Your Experience
Float over the Masai Mara at sunrise on a one-hour hot air balloon flight, followed by a Champagne Bush Breakfast in the savannah.
Getting started
Begin with an early morning pick-up from your lodge or camp before dawn. Settle into a scenic pre-dawn drive to the balloon launch site as the crew prepares your balloon. After a short safety briefing on the ground, you move to the basket and get ready for take-off as the eastern sky starts to lighten.
What to expect
Masai Mara hot air balloon safari
Rise with the first light for a sunrise hot air balloon safari over the Masai Mara, watching the grasslands and wildlife below as the day begins.
Features
- Early morning lodge or camp pick-up is included, so you do not need to arrange separate transport to the launch site in the dark. The scenic pre-dawn drive to the balloon launch site lets you see the Mara gradually emerge from night as you approach the crew and inflated balloon.
- Once in the basket, a gentle sunrise take-off with panoramic Masai Mara views lifts you above the plains. As you drift, you can look down over herds of wildebeest, elephants, and giraffes, observing the African wilderness awaken in the soft golden light.
- Your serene one-hour hot air balloon flight with an expert licensed pilot is designed for unhurried viewing. The pilot guides the balloon to give you sweeping views, golden light, and the quiet of the skies, creating conditions that are well suited to photography.
- After landing, a traditional Champagne Bush Breakfast in the savannah is served at a set-up in the bush. You then receive a flight certificate and can take photos with your pilot, a simple way to mark and document your Masai Mara balloon experience.
Wrapping up
Following breakfast and photos, your balloon safari concludes in the savannah, and you are ready to continue your day in the Masai Mara on your own arrangements; lunch is not included in this experience.
