Thereafter you will be transferred to the natural Balloon launching site within Masai Mara Game Reserve.

Suspended in a basket beneath the rainbow-colored canopy, you’re off for a wildlife viewing adventure with an entirely different perspective; it’s a relaxing ride which allows you to view wildlife from a unique bird’s-eye view.

The flight lasts an hour or so, drifting wherever the air currents take you, and with ample opportunities for photography and video filming.
