For those looking for a wildlife viewing adventure of a different kind Hot Air Balloon Safaris over the Masai Mara and the Serengeti Plains. The scenery from a hot air balloon is unforgettable due to its spectacular and breathtaking nature.

The adventure begins just before dawn. Departure is from a perfect natural launch site within the park, and flames from the hot air balloon burners light the darkness as the crews inflate their craft. The first, pink tongues of sunlight flicker across the skies as the hot air balloon fills, then rises.

Suspended in a basket beneath the rainbow-coloured canopy, you?re off for a wildlife viewing adventure with an entirely different perspective. What amazes most first-time balloonists is the absolute stillness: the silence as you float above the plains, the forest and the rivers of the Serengeti - Masai Mara eco system. Even if you?ve flown elsewhere, this is a unique experience. The flight lasts an hour or so, drifting wherever the air currents take you, and with ample opportunities for photography and video filming. Then your Hot Air Balloon Safari finishes with a flourish.

In the time honoured tradition of balloon flights the world over, you toast your return to earth with a champagne breakfast, cooked wherever you land. The Balloon Safari ends with a transfer back to your lodge / camp.
