Tips for a Perfect Hot Air Balloon Safari in the Masai Mara

A hot air balloon safari is one of the highlights of staying at a Masai Mara lodge like Mara Siligi Camp. To make the most of this adventure, it’s important to prepare well. First, book early—balloon safaris are in high demand, especially during the migration season. Guests staying at Mara Siligi Camp can easily secure their slots when arranging Masai Mara packages in advance.

Dressing in layers is recommended, as mornings in the Mara can be cool before warming up after sunrise. A good camera with a zoom lens ensures you capture stunning wildlife shots from the sky. Listening carefully to pilot instructions guarantees safety throughout the journey. After landing, the experience is completed with a champagne breakfast on the plains, organized seamlessly by Mara Siligi Camp. By combining balloon safaris with ground game drives and cultural experiences, your Masai Mara camp stay becomes a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
