A truly ‘once in a lifetime’ experience.
Fly in a Hot Air Balloon over the Masai Mara plains; an evocative experience that you have the chance to enjoy during any safari you take to Maasai Mara.
The balloon takes off at the break of dawn, around 6am, gliding silently during the ride over the savannah grasslands below where you may spot a variety of wildlife.
The flight lasts one hour and concludes with a ”Champagne Bush Breakfast” at the balloon landing site in the wilderness.
The balloon is flown by a fully qualified and experienced Pilot.
The balloons themselves are mostly manufactured by Cameron, a specialist hot air balloon manufacturer in Great Britain.
The basket sizes vary, and it is best to book the ride in advance.
This is because the space in the Balloon basket is typically limited to a maximum of 16 passengers per balloon, often less if flying with a smaller basket on a given day.
An early start is necessary with passengers expected to be ready and waiting by 5 to 5.30am at their respective Lodge or Tentd Camps reception desks.
The pickup time is again dependent on how far you are from the Baloon take-off site.
You will be collected for a transfer by road to the Balloon take off site, with the flight typically being air borne by 6.00 to 6.15am.
During the balloon flight you will fly over various parts of the Mara reserve below.
You land in the Bush one hour later to a delicious sit-down breakfast, complete with waiting staff and a full hot breakfast ‘in the bush’ accompanied by chilled sparkling wine or champagne.
After the breakfast, you are presented with Balloon flight certificated.
In good time you are transferred back to your hotel, with game viewing drives on the way.
Booking the Balloon flight:
Please advise us your preferred Balloon flying day date which has to be at earliest, the second day of your stay in the Masai Mara.
We need to know the place you will have spent the night in Masai Mara the night before the Balloon ride.
The above assists us to check if a timely transfer is possible to the nearest Balloon ride take off site.
Cancellations due to the Balloon not taking off are a possibility though rare, mainly due to adverse weather conditions, such as strong winds or heavy rain.
In the event of a Balloon not taking off, passengers are refunded in full less minimal administration fees.
A Hot Air Balloon Safari is an evocative, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
You have the chance to undertake the experience during your tour at Masai Mara.
You fly silently over the vast Mara plains, teeming with game, at the break of dawn.
Enjoy a Champagne style Bush Breakfast at the Masai Mara wilderness.
