About this experience

Lift off at dawn and drift over the plains for an hour, then land to a champagne bush breakfast.

Pick-up is in the dark; the balloons inflate as the sky turns pink and you lift off at sunrise. For about an hour the pilot follows the wind low over the Mara’s rivers and plains, often over herds of wildebeest, elephants and giraffe. After landing there is a champagne breakfast in the bush and a game drive back to camp.
