About This Experience
There is no view of the Maasai Mara like the one from a hot air balloon at sunrise. Drifting silently above riverine forest and open plains, you'll watch herds of elephant, giraffe and wildebeest move beneath you as the sun ignites the savannah. Flights end with a traditional champagne breakfast served in the bush — a morning you will never forget.
