Some kind words from one of the top safari balloon operators in the Mara! 🔥

Meet Graeme Houston, one of the friendly faces behind your journey with Governors’ Balloon Safaris.

Graeme first took to the skies in his native Scotland back in 1988, and since then has flown balloons all over the world — from Turkey and Tanzania to California and Canada. He’s even crossed the English Channel three times by balloon! 🎈✨

But what makes flying with Graeme truly special is not just his experience, but his passion. As a multi-award-winning photographer — Graeme Houston Photography — he sees the world through both a pilot’s eyes and an artist’s lens — bringing beauty, adventure, and wonder together in every flight.

This badge isn’t just a patch—it’s a promise. A promise to fly with heart, to care for the precious land below, and to give every guest a moment they’ll never forget. It means pride, purpose, and love for the wild. 💚

Inside the belly of the beast! 🔥🎈

This is an Ultramagic - Balloons S105, standing at around 62 feet tall - and believe it or not, that’s on the smaller side! Commercial passenger balloons can be more than twice that size!

But, as we're all aware - size doesn't really matter it’s what’s done with it that counts. 😉

Here are a few of our Chief Pilot’s first impressions upon arriving at Governor’s Balloon Safaris. 🌍🎈🇰🇪

"Since arriving at Governor's Balloon Safaris, I've truly found joy in flying these antipodean balloons with their rightful top at the top and bottom at the bottom—just as nature intended! (Kavanagh Balloons are made in the land down under). It's not often I get to experience life from the passenger's perspective, but orientation flights are a must here. And thank goodness for that, because whoever named these bushes and landmarks must have had a wild imagination! From "Pancake" to "Jackson Five" and the mysteriously titled "Round Bush," it’s clear that professionalism here goes hand in hand with a delightful sense of humour. These daft named places are where we try and land.

I brought a camera along on these flights, thinking I'd capture every breathtaking moment. However, I soon realised that while it's perfectly fine to snap some memories, keeping your face glued to the viewfinder means missing out on this extraordinary magic show unfurling around you. My advice? Snap some photos, but do it in moderation. Then, let yourself be swept away by the thrill and beauty of this enchanted magic carpet ride. If your travels bring you to the Mara, a balloon flight with Governors is an absolute must—trust me, it's one decision you definitely won't regret!"

Who are Governors Balloon Safaris? 🦁🇰🇪

Governors’ pioneered luxury tented safaris in Kenya back in 1972 — and by 1978, they were soaring over the Maasai Mara in hot air balloons. For 45+ years, they’ve flown the same spectacular route, toasting each landing with sparkling wine and creating unforgettable memories. 🍾🎈

With an impeccable safety record, world-class pilots (including legends like Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Robin Batchelor), and a passion for conservation, Governors’ Balloon Safaris has flown everyone from royalty to film stars — and even helped protect local rhino populations from above. 🦏📸

It's truly an honour to fly for a company with such a fantastic legacy! 🇰🇪
