Advisory Note: Why Every Traveller to Kenya Should Experience a Hot Air Balloon Safari
A safari in Kenya is already a journey of a lifetime—but a hot air balloon safari elevates that experience into something truly unforgettable. We strongly advise every traveller visiting Kenya to include a balloon safari as part of their itinerary, and here is why. 1. A Once-in-a-Lifetime Perspective of Africa A balloon safari offers a breathtaking aerial view of Kenya’s iconic landscapes—vast savannahs, winding rivers, and endless horizons—seen quietly from above as the sun rises. Unlike game drives, the balloon allows you to float peacefully over wildlife, witnessing nature in its purest and least disturbed form. 2. Unmatched Wildlife Viewing From the sky, guests can observe herds of elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and big cats moving naturally across the plains. During the Great Migration season, the experience becomes extraordinary as thousands of wildebeest and zebras are seen from a panoramic vantage point that no vehicle can offer. 3. Exclusivity, Romance, and Luxury Balloon safaris are intimate and exclusive, often followed by a champagne bush breakfast set in the heart of the wilderness. Whether you are celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary, birthday, or simply seeking a premium safari experience, a balloon safari adds elegance and distinction to your journey. 4. Perfect for Photography and Storytelling The soft morning light, dramatic shadows, and wide-angle views make balloon safaris ideal for photography and videography. It is an unmatched opportunity to capture Kenya’s beauty in a way few travellers ever do. 5.
