Balloon Safari
The feeling is indescribable, crispness of the African air,
chill in the wind that hits your face as your Mara hot air balloon gradually
rises, smoothness in the exhale of your breath, and the excitement to see and
learn more. One's physical presence can be felt on the plains of the Masai Mara
when reading this.
You trip begins when you get your wake up call at
your safari lodge or tented camp in the early hours of the morning, as you yawn
away, and thoughts about your wildlife viewing from an elevated position begins
to stir your mind. The fresh Kenyan traditional hot tea and coffee quickly
awaken you, in fact preparing you for a "mission".
By 6.15 a.m. you are almost arriving at the hot
air balloon site in the Masai Mara. As you approach the site, the balloon
seems bigger than you expected, the experience is one that has never been
visited, and you are about to have a trip of a lifetime.
