BALLOON SAFARIS
BALLOON SAFARIS IN MASAI MARA & SERENGETI
Probably the most
beautiful balloon flight in the world and the ultimate African safari
experience. This can be arrange in Kenya (both Masai Mara and Taita
Hills) and Tanzania in Serengeti.
5:00 am: Collection
from your Serengeti (Central) and Masai Mara lodge or camp, and transfer
you by Land rover to the launch site. Here you will meet your pilot,
receive a briefing and watch the inflation of your balloon.
At dawn we take off,
rising as the sun rises and float in whichever direction the winds of
the morning take us. Your pilot can precisely control the altitude of
your balloon: sometimes flying at treetop height, sometimes lower,
offering a unique perspective and great photographic opportunities of
the wildlife below.
At other times he will
ascend to 1000' or more to see the enormity and wonderful panorama of
the Serengeti. From time to time the pilot must put more heat into the
balloon with the powerful whisper burners. In between these burns, there
is silence apart from the natural sounds below.
The flight is for about
one hour depending on conditions, on landing you celebrate in the
traditional manner with champagne (well, an excellent sparkling wine),
before sitting down to a full English breakfast prepared and served in
the bush in 'Out of Africa' style with bone china, linen table cloths,
King's silver etc.
After breakfast you
receive your Balloon certificate and we drive you back to the Lodge or
camp with game viewing enroute. 9:30 am Arrive at the lodge/camp ready
to continue your day's activities.
