Your trip begins when you get your
wake up call at your safari lodge or
tented camp in the early hours of
the morning, drive to
 the hot air
balloon site. As you approach the
site, the balloon seems bigger than
you expected, the experience is one
that has never been visited, and you
are about to have a trip of a
lifetime. Just as the sun is
rising the hot air balloon safari
starts. As you begin to get a grip
on the elevation over the game
filled plains and riverine forest of
the Masai Mara Game Reserve you
notice the wildebeest moving in
large numbers across the Masai Mara
plains, the beauty of the landscape
when the rising sun's bright orange
colors are displayed, the elephants
at the water pool, and the gazelles
and zebras scampering away, just if
it was their first time to witness
an alien object in the sky.
The Balloon flight lasts
approximately one hour, at touch
down time there is a celebration,
champagne is served, as hot
breakfast in the bush is being
prepared before your eyes on the
burners that minutes before, kept
you suspended in the air. You issued
with a certificate of completion
to display in your home country, to
family, friends, coworkers. Clapping
and participation by everyone
present makes you proud to have
achieved a onderful safari.
Afterwards you drive back the way
you came back to your lodge,
enjoying game viewing, probably the
same animals you saw while airborne. |
