Kenya balloon safaris begin early in the morning, and usually, if
not always, you are picked up before dawn at your safari lodge and
returned there afterwards. After a trip to your featured launch
site, it's time to inflate the balloon and get it ready, which is
something you can assist with or not. Generally, Kenya ballooning
trips will take you up to a maximum level of around 1,000 feet, and
it's not uncommon for the pilot to take it as far down as tree or
grass-top level for extreme close-ups of various plants and animals.
It's really quite amazing to experience such a range in elevation
during Kenya balloon safaris. Kenya hot air balloon trips usually
last around an hour, shoving off around sunrise, and sunrise is
truly something to behold over the Kenyan landscape. After your
trip, you'll indulge in a glass of champagne and a bit of breakfast
while you instantly reminisce about the amazing trip you just had.
Flight certificates are usually awarded to those fortunate enough to
experience the balloon safari, and you can proudly display that at
home or in the office. It's sure to be a conversation piece, and
chances are you will never tire of telling your Kenya hot air
balloon safari story. Chances are your story will inspire one or
more friends to start thinking about their own Kenya vacation.
The
F.
Kings Msafari 1 - 4 Days Tsavo East West and Amboseli safari
and
F.
Kings Msafiri 2 - 4 Days Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari
are rewarding road safaris that you can choose from, but should you
take to the skies in a hot air balloon in Kenya, you'll enjoy an
entirely different perspective that compliments a ground tour very
well. If you can do both a ground and balloon safari in Kenya, you
will simply get the best of both worlds.
When it comes to Kenya hot air balloon trips, the famous Masai Mara
Game Reserve and Amboseli are the main destination.
The annual wildebeest migration at Masai Mara takes place either
in July or August, depending on certain variables, and it's the
cream of the crop when talking about Kenya balloon safari. There are
also balloon trips available over the nearby Serengeti plains in
Tanzania, so you might enjoy one of those as well. The wildebeest
migration occurs in both the Masai Mara and Serengeti reserves, and
it is something to witness, that's for sure. From your hot air
balloon safari in Masai Mara, Kenya, you'll watch these curious
animals from atop, and you'll also spot plenty of zebras, who make
the trip as well. Predators such as lions and leopards are known to
"join the party", as something like this is a buffet of sorts for
them.
Amboseli Balloon safari will be the best African hot air balloon
safari affair to surpass all others. The balloon safari is offers
you eye level views of Mount Kilimanjaro. A few minutes to sunrise
the balloon begins its ascent into the Amboseli and Kilimanjaro
skyline. The balloon drifts with the gentle wind across the myriad
of pinks, oranges and purples lighting up the Amboseli sky. The
magnificent sight of Mount Kilimanjaro above herds of elephant
crossing the plains of Amboseli is a timeless African image and one
of life's most memorable experiences. You may spot buffalo, zebra or
giraffes happily roaming the park, perhaps even the king of the
jungle enjoying an early morning kill, aerial view of tMasai
villages...the list is endless and after about an hour the balloon
will slowly descend on the red volcanic ash of the Amboseli earth
with a slight tumble. The breath taking early morning flight is
crowned with a champagne breakfast in the bush with a Mount
Kilimanjaro back drop.
