Adventure Safaris..Hot Air Baloon Safari.

KETZSP005 : Hot Air Balloon Safari - Cost USD 420 Per Person

The adventure begins just before dawn. Flames from the hot air balloon Fantastic view of the Mara Riverburners light the darkness as the crews inflate their craft. The first, pink tongues of sunlight flicker across the skies and the hot air balloon fills then rises.

Suspended in a basket beneath the rainbow-coloured canopy, you’re off for a game-viewing adventure with an entirely different perspective.

The thing that amazes most first-time balloonists is the absolute stillness, the silence as you float above the plains, the forest and the rivers of the Masai Mara. And if you’ve flown elsewhere, you’ve seen nothing like this.

The sounds below drift clearly upwards: a lion’s roar, elephants crashing through the bush, baboons perched in the tips of the trees startled and screeching to see somethiUp Up and away - launch at dawnng above them.

For an hour or so you drift wherever the air currents take you. If you’re lucky you’ll climb high above the Mara for the view of a lifetime.

Then your Kenyan hot air balloon safari finishes with a flourish. In the time honoured tradition of balloon flights the world over you toast your return to earth with a champagne breakfast.Champagne breakfast awaits

The difference is that this breakfast happens in the bush, wherever you land. You will enjoy a very special bush breakfast.
