Balloon Safari
A
popular event and experience for visitors
to Masai Mara and the Serengeti Plain is the
hot air balloon. The World’s first Scheduled
passenger service by balloon was launched in
1976 in Masai Mara. We in Tekko Tours offer
this experience on our premier safari departures
to Masai Mara and the Serengeti. Your Adventure
begins when you set off on a game viewing adventure
with an entirely different perspective. You
will be Amazed by the silence as you float
over the plains. Balloon Safari is most stunning
during the months between July and October
when the Savanna teems with animals during
the Great Migration. Each year, up to 1.5 million
wildebeest (or white-bearded gnu),250,000 Burchell's
zebra and half-a-million Thomson's gazelle
trek through the Serengeti-Mara complex along
a cyclic march that covers annually some 1,800
miles.
