Day 2: Masai Mara
Optional:
Today there will be a high possibility and an exciting opportunity to take a hot air balloon ride. You will take off very early in the morning, in a buoyant hot air balloon into the skies for the ultimate Maasai Mara wildlife adventure. Like an eagle you will soar over herds of game to the inner reaches of the Mara. You'll ascend in the early morning, when winds are calmest. Watch as the professional crew fills the flaccid balloon with hot air. Slowly the gigantic, colorful bag begins to bulge and take shape.
You will hold your breath aboard the traditional wicker gondola basket while the expert pilot makes final adjustments. As the pink and red fireball of the sun rises in splendor over the plains, you're up, up and away - for the flight of a lifetime! Your balloon can soar over the most inaccessible and undisturbed parts of the Mara, with only the intermittent whisper of the balloon's gas burners punctuating the silence of your majestic flight. Because wind and weather conditions vary, every flight presents a completely new and unique experience! From your vantage point about 50-500 feet above the reserve, you have a fantastic 360-degree bird's-eye view of the most dramatic scenes in nature as they unfold beneath you.
Depending on the season, you might witness exasperatingly delicate herd of antelopes flowing like schools of fish across the plain, groups of elephants grazing undisturbed in a remote ravine, lionesses stealthily stalking a herd of grunting wildebeest, or zebras conferring in a confusion of black and white stripes and bark-like calls. After your incredible flight, it's time to come back down to earth for breakfast. As you sip champagne and dig into a splendid breakfast of sizzling bacon, eggs, sausage, home-made breads, fresh tropical fruit and steaming cups of Kenyan coffee or tea under the clear blue sky, you might wonder what all the ordinary people are doing on this perfect African morning!
Before leaving, the pilot will present you with your balloon flight certificate. You can be sure that after this experience that no flight can match this airborne experience! After the spectacular balloon ride you will continue with your game drive in Masai Mara in search of the big five and other animals. You will have a lunch break followed by more game drives till evening when you return back to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
Note: This Hot Air Balloon ride will be offered at a very special price if booked together with the safari.
If you are NOT doing Balloon ride:
After your breakfast, you will pick your packed lunch and set out for a full day game drive in the reserve under the expert guidance of Super Africa Wildlife Adventure Safaris guide in search of the big five and other animals. Lions, cheetahs and leopards roams the vast grasslands in search for their next meal, it may be an unsuspecting impala or even a small one like the warthog whatever the players, the spectacle of nature unfolding is always awesome and inspiring! You will have a lunch break followed by more game drives till evening when you return back to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
