This 2 days hot air balloon safari Masai Mara tour gives you two different game view angles, especially early in the morning and late in the evening. This then makes the safari worth it and fruitful, as during these times, most of the animals, especially the predators, are usually active.
Enjoy seeing either of the Big Cats (Lion, Leopard & Cheetah) as they make their chase after their prey, whether on the ground or high up in the air. This package is one of the best hot air balloon safaris in Africa, giving you a chance to explore the vast plains of Masai Mara.
Here is a summary of your balloon air safari, which makes it one among the best hot air balloon safaris in Kenya.
