Hot air-balloon flight in Kenya

The Masai Mara is a large park reserve in south-western Kenya and is famous for its exceptional population of game and the annual migration of zebra, Thomson's gazelle and the wildebeest from the Serengeti every year from July to October, a migration so immense it is called the Great Migration.

A truly unforgettable experience awaits you on an optional excursion on the Kenyan Safari tour as you rise above the Masai Mara by hot-air balloon at sunrise.  Watch as the red orb of the sun ascends above the horizon, seeing the wildlife silhouetted against the skyline and hearing the dawn chorus reach a crescendo.

The animals seem oblivious to the silent balloon drifting above, save for the occasional rush of hot air as the burner hisses into action. As the red glow gradually dissipates into a bright, new day, you touch down for a champagne breakfast against this amazing backdrop.
