| Shared Hot Air Balloon Safari - Day 6 EARLY MORNING
This is the ultimate way to view wildlife in Africa. You will be woken before dawn and then driven in the shared vehicle of the balloon company to the balloon staging area, often a remote location. You are provided a safety briefing by the pilot as the crew inflates the envelope. Taking off as the sun rises, you will drift quietly above plains, rivers and forests while gazing at spectacular scenery and with luck, take some incredible photographs. The flight is approximately one hour and gives a ‘birds-eye’ experience to game-watching which many find to be the climax of their safari. On landing in the middle of nowhere there will be a shared full bush-style breakfast set up served with Champagne, with a table decked in silver cutlery, fresh Kenyan coffee, tea and fruits. It is a truly magical experience.
Special hints:
CLOTHING
Flat comfortable shoes should be worn. A jacket, sweater or fleece which can be easily removed during the flight as the sun warms up the air is ideal. Sun hats & sun glasses are also recommended.
CAMERAS
If you have a choice of lenses carry both the wide angle & telephoto. You should be familiar with your cameras setting for low light as take-off is at sunrise. Carry enough batteries and storage & a camera bag to put in your equipment when landing. Video cameras are great & binoculars invaluable for game watching. Hot Air Balloons are very photogenic. |
