Kenya Balloon Safari
Hot Air Balloons in Kenya
The balloon take offs at the break of dawn, around 6am, gliding silently during the ride over the savannah grasslands below where you may spot a variety of wildlife. What amazes most first-time balloonists is the absolute stillness: the silence as you float above the plains, the forest and the rivers of the Masai Mara.
There are balloons with a capacity of 16 passengers each, 12-Seater, 8-Seater and a small 4-Seater balloon normally used on exclusive basis by honey-mooners or photographers/film crew, subject to availability.

How Does a Hot Air Balloon Rise and Fall?
When the pilot wants the hot air balloon in Kenya to rise, they turn the burner on, heating the air inside the envelope. Hot air weighs less than cold air, making the balloon rise.
When the pilot wants to land, they cool down the air by opening the parachute valve. To keep the hot air balloon at a certain level, the pilot turns on and off the burner at regular intervals.
That ensures the perfect amount of cold and hot air is available in the envelope.
