Safari summary

This 1-day Maasai Mara hot air balloon safari starts in the early morning, around 5:00 am in the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. This exciting adventure offers a serene and picturesque hot air balloon ride over the Maasai Mara's stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife. It's a unique and peaceful way to witness the sunrise, observe the wildlife from the air, and capture breathtaking views of this iconic African wilderness. After the balloon ride, a champagne breakfast is often provided, adding to the celebration of this unforgettable experience.

The price for a hot air balloon safari in the Maasai Mara ranges from $500 to $1000 per person for a standard 1-hour flight, but it can vary based on the operator, flight duration, and additional services included. Prices may be higher during peak tourist seasons, and it's best to check with specific operators for current rates and availability.

The best time to experience a hot air balloon safari in the Maasai Mara is during the dry season, specifically from July to October, when the Great Migration is in full swing, and wildlife congregates around water sources, offering unparalleled viewing opportunities from the air. Another ideal period is January to February when the short dry season combines with wildebeest calving season, providing thrilling wildlife encounters
