hot-air-balloon-safariA balloon Safari is one of the unique ways of seeing wildlife on your Safari in Kenya. During this amazing experience you can close your eyes and feel you body free raise as you ascend from the ground into the air where the balloon will be soaring. It is because of the uniqueness of this experience that many holidaymakers prefer to visit the Masai Mara.

This safari starts with your waking up very early back at your safari lodge or other preferred accommodation. The excitement and thoughts of you flying in a balloon and seeing different animals from an elevated point will certainly cross your mind. After freshening up, you will have a cup of fresh coffee or tea.

The Balloon Safari Experience

At daybreak, the balloon will be launched and slowly rise until a point when it will float in the direction of the morning winds. The pilot will regulate the altitude of the balloon. At times you may fly at the height of the tree-tops or even lower just to give you clearer views of the wildlife and as well as clearer angles of taking photographs.

Every now and then the pilot will add more heat in the balloon and you will hear the whispering sound of the banners interrupted by the silence of the game viewers who are so focused o n game viewing. You will see different animals running and grazing right below you such as Thomson’s gazelles, zebras, wildebeests, cheetahs, Masai lions and African Leopards. It is a very eye catching and unique Kenya Wildlife Safari experience.

The flight in the balloon takes about an hour basing on the weather condition.

Once you land, you will gather and celebrate this experience in the traditional way by popping open a bottle of champagne. Then you will settle for a complete English breakfast that will be prepared outdoors in Kenya’s wilderness and served on clean china laid on a beautifully bush-breakfastset table covered with nice table linen.

After your breakfast you will be awarded with a Balloon certificate as proof of taking part in this amazing Safari experience before returning to your accommodation from where you will proceed with the other activities as per your Safari itinerary.

Something worth noting is that this amazing safari takes on a limited number of people per flight and yet it is a much loved and highly demanded for tourist activity. For that that reason we recommend that you make your reservation early through AA Safari & Tours and that will enable us secure and reserve this balloon experience for you and your desired date.
