Tour Details

What can be the better way to witness the sun rising above the plains of Africa in a hot air balloon? As the flight takes off, dawn begins to creep over the horizon, enlightening the landscape with a glooming light and setting the scene as the animals start to play and a new day begins. As you start floating in the air, you can experience a bird’s eye view of the wildlife with excellent photographic opportunity. The flight will continue for one hour offering a magnificent setting of the Great Rift Valley. The flight will end with a champagne breakfast in the bush. There is nothing quite like it. The absolute peace of immense vistas, bright colours of the balloon and fresh air, as the balloon float you silently above it all “like a dream come true”. The experience is exhilarating and for many it is the highlight of their holiday.
