Day 1: Masai Mara or Serengeti
The flight is approximately one hour and gives a birds-eye view of the landscape and wildlife below. Afterwards a champagne breakfast is served in the middle of the bush. A truly magical experience!
This is the ultimate way to view wildlife in Africa. You will be woken before dawn and then driven to a remote location. Taking off as the sun rises, you will drift quietly above the 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 full champagne bush-style breakfast set up, with a table decked in silver cutlery, fresh Kenyan coffee, tea and fruits. It is a truly magical experience.
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 and glasses are also recommended.
If you have a choice of lenses carry both the wide angle & telephoto. Faster film is vital as take off is at sunrise. Carry enough film & 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.
