Hot air balloon rides

Imagine floating silently above the Maasai Mara as the rising sun paints the plains in gold—it’s an almost spiritual experience.

Starting before dawn, guests board a massive hot air balloon. As the sun rises, the balloon ascends, offering a panoramic, bird’s-eye view of the landscape below. This is an unparalleled way to witness the sheer scale of the savannah and observe animals like elephants and giraffes from above. The activity usually culminates in a champagne breakfast served right in the bush upon landing.
