One of the best Safari experiences in Africa has to be Masai Mara balloon Safaris. While it is not a cheap or local experience it is without a doubt a once in a life time one.
Drifting above the plains, forests, and rivers of the Mombasa safaris feels like a dream. There is no turbulence and no loud motor- just you and your temporary balloon drifting over wild elephants, lions, and giraffe.
What is Balloon Safari?
All balloon Safaris is with Governor’s take off at Little Governors Camp. On arrival to the camp, passengers can enjoy tea and coffee while the balloon is prepared for the flight.
Guests are given a briefing as well as told what to expect on balloon safaris. Each massive hot air balloon can carry sixteen guests at a time. The baskets are compartmentalized with four people to a compartment as well as everyone has plenty of space to take in the views.
Takeoff feels surreal because it feels like literally nothing at all. One minute you are on the ground and the next you are drifting above the treetops in the middle of your balloon safari as well as you don’t even realize it.
Unlike helicopters, planes, or an elevator the lift is so gradual it still feels like you are standing on the earth’s surface while in the balloon. Well, that’s what a balloon safari feels like- it’s the closest thing to a flying dream we have ever experienced.
