Governors Balloon Safaris offer Hot Air Ballooning over the Masai Mara in Kenya. The adventure begins just before dawn. The first, pink tongues of sunlight flicker across the skies as the hot air balloon fills, then rises. Suspended in a basket beneath the rainbow-coloured canopy, you're off for a wildlife-viewing adventure with an entirely different perspective. The balloon safaris over the vast Masai Mara National Reserve last for just over 60 minutes. Governors Balloon safari flights begin from a natural launch site just behind Little Governors Camp in the Masai Mara. A Champagne Breakfast is served on landing and you will enjoy a game drive on the way back to camp.
