Governors Balloon Safaris
The Masai Mara is home to
some of the most spectacular animals on earth. Elephant, giraffe,
wildebeest and impala perform an exciting and hypnotic show for our
visitors.
The Mara from a balloon is one of the most spectacular sights on
earth. Our giant hot air balloons are maintained by highly trained
pilots and offer guests the chance to see the whole scope of the
Mara in perfect silence and peace.
The adventure begins just before dawn. Flames from the balloons’
burners light the darkness as the crews inflate their craft. As the
first rays of sunlight flicker across the skies, the inflated
balloons begin to rise.
Suspended in a
basket beneath the rainbow coloured canopy, you’re off for a game
viewing adventure
with an entirely different perspective. As you float over the
plains, the forest and the Mara River, you hear the sounds from
below drift clearly upwards; a lion’s roar, elephants crashing
through the bush, screeching baboons perched in the tips of trees.
For an hour or so you drift wherever the air currents take you, then
in the time honoured tradition of ballooning you toast your return
to earth with a champagne breakfast, cooked before your eyes on the
plains of the Masai Mara.
