Balloon Safaris and Scenic Flights

A unique hot air balloon safari or charter flight experience allows you to view the diverse habitats of the Masai Mara National Reserve and the amazing assortment of wildlife from a unique bird’s-eye view.

Hot Air Balloon Safaris

Guests are picked at the Mara Siria Camp in the early morning hours. The balloon takes off at dawn – lifting up as the sun rises and floating in whichever direction the winds of the morning take you. The pilot can precisely control the altitude of the balloon: sometimes flying at treetop height, sometimes lower, offering a unique perspective and great photographic opportunities of the wildlife below. At other times the pilot will ascend to see the enormity and wonderful panorama of the Masai Mara.

The flight is shared with other guests and takes about one hour followed by champagne (well, an excellent sparkling wine), and 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 receiving your “ballooners certificate” you will be dropped back to the Mara Siria Camp.

We partner with high experienced, fully certified Air Operators with balloons of the highest international standards and baskets ensuring the highest levels of passenger safety and comfort at all times.
