Begin your second day with a very early wake-up call. Around 5:00 AM, you’ll be transferred to the balloon launch site for your Air Balloon Safari. As the sun rises, you’ll soar over the Masai Mara's vast plains, watching the wildlife from above—an experience that provides breathtaking views of the savannah. The balloon ride lasts about an hour, and after landing, you’ll be treated to a celebratory champagne breakfast in the wild. Afterward, you’ll return to your lodge for some relaxation. In the afternoon, set off on another exciting game drive to explore more of the reserve. You’ll return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
