Hot Air Balloons in Masai Mara
Hot Air Balloons in Masai Mara
Hot air balloons in Masai Mara are operated twice daily that is early morning and late afternoon and the activity is organized by three major balloon operators who are fully registered by the government of Kenya and the Kenyan Civil Aviation Authority, which licenses them to operate.
Hot air balloons in the Masai Mara are often misinterpreted as a luxury experience. However, they are affordable for all classes of travelers, with larger balloons accommodating up to 16 people. This makes the experience cheaper, as you will share the expenses.
Hot balloon safari is booked in advance so that the operator will make all the arrangements and packaging for you as well as have the maximum number of guests it carries.
Experience the eagle eye of the Masai Mara national land when you’re floating on air freely like a vulture or an eagle above the wildlife and the vegetation cover with our hot air balloon in Masai Mara.
The hot air balloon can be done by both adults and children, though children must be five years and older and adults should be physically fit and in good health. The funny part is for the fat, heavy people who weigh over 120 kg; they are considered to be two in one, hence they are requested to purchase double space to avoid overloading since the balloon operates on a certain maximum weight.
All the hot air balloon safaris start before dawn after hearing a wake-up call from your hotel, where you will be transferred in a safari van to the open starting and landing point.
Guests are instructed to enter the basket, take their seats, and cover their eyes as the pilot starts the balloon. This is the most exciting time, as the heart feels the slow-motion movement of the balloon as it begins to rise slowly upwards.
When the balloon is up, everyone is requested to open their eyes and stand up to start the aerial view of the animals and the vegetation; see the big cats hunting if lucky and enjoy the aerial view of the wildebeest migration if you come around June to October.
