Masai Mara National Reserve offers wonderful scenery and plenty of game. World renowned for the breathtaking spectacle of ‘the greatest wildlife show on earth and the awe inspiring annual migration of the wildebeest. Technically an extension of Tanzania's renowned Serengeti National Park, the Mara constitutes only 4% of the entire Serengeti ecosystem but its rolling grasslands, meandering rivers and towering escarpments offer one of the world's most rewarding and evocative wildlife arenas. This is the ideal backdrop for a hot air balloon expedition. It is perhaps the only region left in Kenya where the visitor may see animals in the same super-abundance as existed a century ago.
