On the day of your balloon flight, one of our custom safari vehicles will collect you from your Hotel / Tent / Lodge to drive you to the launch site. You will arrive at the launch site by 6 am, and can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee while you watch the balloons being prepared for take-off. You will then meet your pilot, who will give you a safety briefing as you watch the balloons being inflated as well as explain what you can expect during your flight. There are toilet facilities available at the launch site.
You will then be loaded into your balloon basket for take-off just before sunrise, at about 6:30 AM. The flight will last approximately one hour, depending on wind conditions, and the balloon will land between 7:30 and 7:45 am. Upon landing, you can observe the complete deflation of the balloon envelope. Our vehicles will then transport you a short distance to breakfast.
Our breakfast is set up on the picturesque savannah plains of the Mara; either inside or out of the park. You will sit down to a full bush breakfast, complete with eggs-to-order, fresh juices, waiters, and, of course, champagne.
After breakfast, at about 9 am, you will have a game drive back to your camp or lodge. Our drivers are all experienced safari guides. Our drivers have also undertaken strict in-house training to ensure the safety and enjoyment of your game drive.
By 10:30 am you should be back at your camp or lodge, remembering the wonderful experience you started your day off with!
