A Masai Mara hot air balloon safari is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that offers a unique perspective of the famous Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. The reserve is renowned for its exceptional wildlife, including the annual wildebeest migration, which is one of the world’s most spectacular natural events.

The safari begins early in the morning, with a pre-dawn pick-up from your hotel. As you make your way to the launch site, the sun begins to rise, casting a golden glow over the savannah grasslands. Once you arrive, you’ll be greeted by the friendly and experienced pilot, who will give you a safety briefing before you take off.

As the hot air balloon inflates, the excitement builds as you prepare to take flight. Once the balloon is fully inflated, you’ll climb aboard and take off into the sky. The feeling of floating on the breeze is indescribable, and the views are breath taking. You’ll soar over the savannah grasslands, taking in the sights and sounds of the wild.

As you fly over the reserve, you’ll have the opportunity to spot a wide variety of wildlife, including elephants, lions, zebras, and wildebeest. The Masai Mara is home to the largest concentration of wild animals in Kenya, so the chances of seeing something truly spectacular are high. During the wildebeest migration, you’ll be able to see thousands of wildebeest and zebras crossing the Mara River, a truly remarkable sight.

The flight lasts for about an hour, and as you begin to descend, you’ll see the landing site in the distance. The pilot will guide the balloon to a soft landing, and as you disembark, you’ll be greeted by the ground crew who will help you out of the basket. After landing, you’ll be treated to a champagne breakfast, which will be served in the wilderness as you enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
