You'll be amazed by the silence as you float over the plains. The sounds below drift clearly upwards; a lion's roar, elephants crashing through the bush, screeching baboons perched in the tips of the trees startled to see something above them.

For an hour or so you drift wherever the air currents take you, then in the time-honoured tradition of ballooning the world over you toast your return to earth with a champagne breakfast, cooked before your eyes on the burners that minutes before, kept you suspended in the air.

Each passenger earns a certificate signed by the pilot to commemorate the flight. The Balloon Safari ends with a game drive, on the return journey to your camp.

Lions, elephants, buffaloes, hippos, crocodiles are among the animals you will see. The migration of the wildebeests in Maasai Mara and Serengeti, the view of Kilimanjaro in Amboseli and the view of millions of flamingos in Lake Nakuru and Elementaita is a sight that, viewed from the vantage point of a balloon, you will never forget. And photography is a must from this unique perspective.

The adventure begins just before dawn. Flames from the balloons' burners light the darkness as the crews inflate their craft. As the first pink tongues of sunlight flicker across the skies, the inflated balloons begin to rise. Suspended in a basket beneath the rainbow coloured canopy, you're off for a game-viewing adventure with an entirely different perspective.
