Overview
We all love a good sunrise. From the warm toned colours to the embrace feeling you experience viewing the sun rise signalling a new day. Now I want you to imagine, watching the sunrise as you float in the air above the glorious Maasai Mara Plains sipping on your coffee or tea or better yet a mimosa. You can already feel your heart-melting at that gorgeous yellow-orange view. Flying high up in the skies above the Masai Mara is one of the top ultimate safari experiences. The scenery below is an infinity mix of riverine forests, sprawling savannahs, towering escarpments and rugged rivers all against a backdrop of stunning sunrises and sunsets. The view is unmatched to anything you can ever set your eyes on and experience is most definitely unforgettable.
Pickup and Transfers
One of our drivers will normally visit your lodge the evening before the flight to agree the time for collection in the morning, answer any questions on what to wear and to bring with you. You collected by one of our drivers in our 4×4 safari vehicles before dawn (normally between 4.30am and 5.00am).
Briefing
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 and the balloon is standing upright, 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!

Celebration and breakfast
Once the balloon has landed, the pilot will ask you to stay in the basket until he has deflated the balloon and the ground crew and drivers have arrived to pack the balloon away. This is the Masai Mara and wild animals may be close by: so passengers are asked to stay close to the basket until the drivers arrive. In most cases they are there as you land.
Your Balloon Safari Masai Mara finishes with a flourish. In the time celebrated tradition of balloon flights the world over, you toast your return to earth with 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 with a game drive.
