½-Day Hot Air Balloon Maasai Mara Early Morning Safari

• A transfer from the airport can be arranged for an extra cost.

Departure is from your lodge where you are collected by one of our drivers in our 4×4 safari vehicles before dawn (normally between 4.30-5.30am).

The experience begins when you arrive at the launch site in the Heart of the reserve.

You will often be seated in the basket prior to Take-off. The pilot will inflate the balloon and when it is safe to do so, he will tell you to stand-up, your adventure has really begun. The sharp-eyed will spot animals quickly; what never fails to amaze is the natural camouflage African wildlife has. Gently gliding with the wind over the plains of the Masai Mara, the silence, beauty and magnitude is breathtaking!

Your Balloon Safari Masai Mara finishes with a flourish. You toast your return to earth with full bush breakfast in the Masai Mara (complete with sparkling wine), served in the bush close to wherever you land. Your lodge drivers will collect you from the bush breakfast and return you safely to your lodge at around 10:30 am with a game drive.
