Masai Village Experience
Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania

Witness a way of life virtually untouched for thousands of years as you spend an afternoon with the people of a local Maasai village.

Serengeti Balloon Safari
Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
Half-day tour
Approximate Time:
4.5 hours
This is the most beautiful balloon flight in the world and the ultimate safari experience you do not want to miss! Taking off at dawn, you’ll rise as the sun rises and float in whichever direction the winds of the morning take you. Your pilot can control precisely the altitude of your balloon: sometimes flying at treetop height, sometimes lower, offering you a unique perspective and great photographic opportunities of the wildlife below. At other times he will ascend to 1,000 feet or more to see the enormity and wonderful panorama of the Serengeti. From time to time the pilot must put more heat into the balloon with the powerful whisper burners. In between these burns, there is silence apart from the natural sounds below. The Serengeti plains and woodlands are world famous for the variety and sheer number of its animal population. A Serengeti Balloon Safari however, is not merely a game viewing experience, but rather an opportunity for an adventure and unique perspective over quintessentially African landscapes.

Masai Mara Balloon Safari
Masai Mara National Park
Half-day tour, Day 14
Approximate Time:
4 hours, 30 min.
After savoring a fresh cup of early morning coffee, float above it all as you embark on the balloon ride of a lifetime. This one hour flight will give you a bird’s eye view of the best East Africa has to offer, in the magnificent setting of the Great Rift Valley. A champagne breakfast in the bush after you land, adds to the buzz you will get from the early morning air, and the sights and sounds that only an eagle ever sees. The morning drive back to your camp/lodge offers more opportunities for game viewing. Early morning is the ideal time to see wild animals on the plains. In the Masai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya it is an experience you will never forget.
