Ballooning in Kenya is one of the more exciting of adventures that one can experience and indulge in. Visitors to Masai Mara can also experience the great experience of game and reserve viewing in the tropical forests and the vast expanses of Kenya's national parks from a hot air balloon. In the crispiness of dawn the passengers in the hot air balloon drink coffee and the crew who ride the balloon in the hot sum of Kenya's weather. The crew inflates the balloon with enormous fans and the gas burners are then ignited and the balloon as a result of this rises slowly raising the baskets and before departing there are finalized checks which are conducted and passengers then climb into the balloon basket and get prepared for take off.
The balloons lift off just before the sun rises and when the breeze on the plains gets cold. Once the balloon is airborne, they are blown by the prevailing winds across the broad landscape. Apart from the hissing noise of the burners, the flights above the Masai Mara are plain magical and mesmerizing. The pilot controls the height of the craft by regulating the hot air into the balloon
Sometimes the balloon descends over the plains and you can get a view of the wildlife that is rife with excitement and adventure in the plains of Kenya. On other occasions, it rises to clear a tree canopy and then ascend over a riverine forest.
Before most of these trips on the Balloons, the passengers are treated to a champagne breakfast and these are replete with flowers. China ware and crystal are placed in a table and often flowers are used to decorate the embellishment. Most of the travelers are always seen to being the fringes of the acacia tree enjoying the finishing touch of the flight. Once the sightseeing in the balloon comes to an end there is a possibility of spotting a tiger or a lion which can be often accompanied by the elephant or the lions which can be found in the lodges and the tented camps underneath. Over a dozen balloons depart from the sites near the lodges and the camps. A flight certificate often is issued when the flight of the balloons is completed and the Balloon safari draws to a close.
