Governor's Balloon Safaris Hot air balloon safaris operator since 1978. We offer the best flight path over the Masai Mara. We operate 2-4 balloons daily depending on the season.

Governors' has been pioneering immersive and transformational safaris in the Mara since 1972. We were the first operators to be permanently based inside the Mara for a permanent tented camp and our hot air balloon safaris. Unfenced and right in the heart of the action, our camps are located in some of the best and most precious wildlife locations, right in the heart of the action. We are a family with a colourful 'cast of characters' that embodies the spirit of safari, while placing the care of the environment, community and conservation at the heart of everything we do. Governors' Balloon Safaris is the prime ballooning operator in the Masai Mara, with a natural launch site located at Little Governor's Camp.

The first light of morning, the endless golden plains, the winding rivers and wildlife moving freely across the landscape. For a little while, the world feels quieter, and you get to take it all in from a completely different perspective.

Jungeminds from Salem, Oregon, joined us for a balloon safari while celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary. It was also their first balloon ride, and we're so glad it turned out to be one to remember.

Here's what they had to say about their morning with us:

“From Albert's drive to and from our safari camp, to Graham Houston's expert hot air balloon piloting, to the breathtaking scenery, every aspect of this experience was exceptional.

As it was my first balloon ride, I was apprehensive. However, Graham's calm and professional approach gave me complete confidence from the start. To say it felt like floating hardly does the experience justice. It was absolutely amazing.

We saw herds of elephants, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, and so much more, all from a unique and unforgettable perspective. The landing was executed perfectly, and the bush breakfast afterward was the ideal way to cap off the morning.”

Thank you, Jungeminds, for spending such a special morning with us and for taking the time to share your experience. Albert, Graham and the whole team will be delighted to read this!

Here's to many more good flights and wonderful memories.

One of the lovely things about a Governor's Balloon Safaris flight is what comes after. Once back on the ground, there's time to sit down, enjoy a good breakfast and share a few stories with the people who made the morning special.

Our pilots are always happy to spend a little more time with guests, swapping stories and sharing a laugh over a meal. After all, a great morning in the Mara is even better when there's good company around the table.

The roar of the burners breaks the quiet of the early morning as flames shoot into the balloon, filling the air with warmth, sound and anticipation.

🔥🎈 The engines roar to life, the balloon begins to rise, and the excitement builds as the Mara slowly wakes up around you. Every burst of flame brings you closer to an extraordinary adventure above the golden plains.
