Taking a ‘balloon safari’ is a treat that many people hope to do, and it is certainly a memorable experience, although not ideal for game viewing or wildlife photography. The hot-air balloons, launched at dawn and carries a dozen or more passengers for about an hour in a southerly direction across the reserve, at a height of anything from a few metres to several hundred metres above the plains.
The best flights follow the course of the Mara or Talek rivers, allowing you to peer down into the forest, skim past vultures’ nests and watch the monkeys’ early-morning routine.
By 7.30am, the balloons are dropping down onto the plain for a bush breakfast and sparkling wine, followed by a game drive back to camp.
