Amboseli Hot Air Balloon Ride - Over Mt Kilimanjaro

Our sunrise flights are scheduled seven days a week, 365 days a year, weather permitting. We meet one hour prior to sunrise at our custom-built Balloon Safari Camp where we check in guests, enjoy hot beverages, cookies and a safety briefing. Once the balloon set-up is complete, we enter our launch field. After watching the multi-coloured fabric take shape, the passengers will board the balloon, and then we are airborne as the sunrise peeks over the horizon! Once airborne, the Captain will point out the spectacular sites of the area, from Majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, to the Amboseli National Park, and the vast Amboseli Ecosystem. A wide array of wildlife can be seen including the areas renowned elephants, lions, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, and many others. Our flying area has many wonderful things to see! The flight is approximately one hour, and we will ascend anywhere from treetops, to several thousand feet. After landing, we return to our Balloon Safari Camp where a traditional Champagne Celebration is held, and guests are served a fresh ‘made-to-order’ hot breakfast of their preference. Non-alcoholic beverages are also available, and any allergies/food restrictions will be accommodated. DURING THE FLIGHT Once we are In-flight, your guests will experience a spectacular 360° view of: • The earth coming alive, as the sun rises to the East, • The many variations of the Amboseli ecosystem, • Mt. Kilimanjaro to the South, • Amboseli National Park to the North, • Plentiful game, depending on the season, throughout the area, • The local Maasai Manyattas and Bomas in the area, • Encourage your guests to bring their camaras and/or binoculars. Flights generally last about 1-hour, but actual flight time can vary from 45-minutes to 1 ½ hours, depending on the weather of the day, and the conditions ‘Mother Nature’ has provided us.
