Overview

Be welcomed as if we were returning friends and the food is excellent, the view from the cabin overlooking the Mara is awe-inspiring. Of course, the main reason to visit is for the wild-life. The Lodge uses six-wheeled, high, vehicles. These are well-suited to smoothing out the off-road terrain of the Mara. They would not be quite fast enough for the greater distances on-road in the Serengeti but are perfect for the Mara. As Sue said, “In the end, the quality of your guide determines the level of your experience.” Peter is enthusiastic, very knowledgeable about even individual animals on his patch and, of course, possessing the almost uncanny ability of the Masai people to spot animals at incredible distances. Some excursions can be quieter than others, depending entirely upon the movements of the animals. One quiet afternoon was followed by a mind-boggling (long) morning, on which we saw: A lioness just failing to catch a Topi, a gazelle seconds after

DAY 4 : Hot Air Balloon Safari
06:00AM-10:00PM

For the adventure of a lifetime we offer the unique experience of a Balloon Safari over the plains, forest and river of the Masai Mara Game Reserve, famous for its abundance of wildlife throughout the year. Lions, Elephants, Buffalo, Hippos, Crocodiles and prolific numbers of plains game are regularly seen, as are the countless species of Birds both in flight and atop their lofty perches in the trees. The annual migration of the Wildebeest from July to October is a sight that, viewed from the vantage point of a Balloon, is never to be forgotten. Departure is from Little Governors’ Camp, which has a perfect natural launch site and offers easy access for the take off shortly after sunrise. The flight lasts about an hour, with ample opportunities for photography and video filming from this unusual and often exciting perspective. After landing there is a traditional champagne toast, followed by a breakfast cooked on the Balloon burners in the middle of the rolling plains of the Masai Mara. It is another tradition with us that each passenger is presented with a cd which includes a certificate to commemorate the flight. The Balloon Safari ends with a leisurely game drive which often allows you to return to the animals seen from the air before returning to the lodge. There are no special requirements for participation in a balloon safari. For safety reasons children must be eight years old and above and taller than 1.2metres to participate in hot air balloon safaris.
