A very early start to the day, being woken with a hot drink and bsicuits. Out before dawn to the launch site, escorted because of the possibility of animals in the camp. After a quick but detailed briefing we watched the balloon being inflated. Once the ballon was part inflated, we boarded. The noise form the burners was very loud... More

We stayed in Little Governors for 3 nights (see my review) as part of an overall safari package and I have to say the early morning Balloon ride was one of the most memorable experiences during our stay! Waking in the darkness (5am) is hard but helps when someone is bringing you and coffee to your tent! The balloons go... More

What an experience! Our Pilot was great! Everything was explained to us before we took off. We were told that depending on how the wind was going to where and how fast we were going to end up at breakfast. Luckily the wind wasn't fast! We were lucky enough to see lots of animals including 4 rhino one being a... More

We really enjoyed the balloon safari, the animals were all hiding so we didnt see too much but the views and the experience of watching the sun rise from the balloon is just once in a lifetime. The breakfast and game drive after were also excellent, as were the staff and the pilots, all in all would definately recommend!

The most expensive, death defying ride and a waste of time and money. We went up with Gunther on Oct 1st. We were OK with getting up at 4:30 AM. We were OK with the bumpy roads from Olonana. HOWEVER, we saw very few animals, NO migration and it was the worst landing ever. My head banged the ground several... More

Our balloon baptism was with this outfit, since we stayed in Governors Camp. The experience of lifting off at dawn was so quiet and so wonderful that we felt like birds, until the heater started blowing. Our pilot, Sanjay Gupta, did a wonderful job by identifying wildlife on the ground while flying the balloon. The landing was perfect, a couple... More

We had an incredible experience, we saw hyena, hippo, crocodile, rhinos etc. Markham was great and the ballon safari overall was incredible! The breakfast after was also very good! The only reason I gave it 4 star was because it was VERY expensive! It was worth every penny, but if you are going on a budget safari, it adds on... More

The experience on the Governors ballon safari was one of the highlight of our trip in Kenya. Everything was perfectely organized and we have a very safe feeling. The "voyage" is wonderful on top of the Mara river, you can see hippo running into the water, giraffe and elephant looking at the balloon...the landing was extremely smooth and the breakfast... More

Absolutely fantastic if I could rewind the time on the ballon I would, magical
