Visitors to the Masai Mara, Serengeti and Great Rift
Valley can experience the rare excitement of game
viewing from a hot air balloon. In the crisp air of
dawn, the passengers drink coffee while the crew
partially inflates the balloon with enormous fans. The
gas burners are then ignited and the balloon fills with
hot air slowly raising the baskets. Before departing,
finalized checks are made, and the passengers then climb
into the balloon basket for a take off
. .

The Tana River White Water
Rafting Kenya
Alt 1,200 - 1,100m Just 95km from Nairobi,
this "pool drop" river offers an exciting
day of White-Water thrills (and often
spills). The adventure starts with 3km. of
easy class II and III white-water, where
there is plenty of opportunity to gain and
practice the paddle skills required to run
the lower part of the river. A 6 km section
follows, and now we have an hour or more to
relax, view the abundance of birdlife
around, cool off with a swim - it's very
warm compared with rivers in the States or
Europe, (around 20C),
Available daily at 07.30 hrs - return by
1730hrs. ......
