Would not have missed this, it was truly wonderful. Definitely worth the early start. To glide over the Masai Mara watching the huge herds of wildebeest, zebra and elephant plus many other animals and birds.

The Fig Tree Camp was welcoming and we were taken to watch the bollooon inflated. Quite specatular. There was 12 in the... More
