There’s nothing like seeing the ruins of Luxor up close or looking into the soulful eyes of an elephant. For a bird’s-eye view, though, you can’t beat a hot air balloon ride. Whether you’re flying over wildlife or taking in vast landscapes from a fresh perspective, these are four of the best hot air balloon rides on the African continent.
Maasai Mara, KenyaThe pilots working for Balloon Safaris Ltd. have a minimum of 1,000 hours ballooning experience, and it shows in their immaculate handling of the aircrafts; they’re often able to bring them to just eight feet off the ground, enabling you to hover just above the animals below. You’ll cruise for an hour above the Maasai Mara Reserve, generally flying towards the Mara River. Below you’ll spot lions, zebra, wildebeests, gazelles, impala and, if you’re lucky, elephants off in the distance. Breakfast is a feast; in the shade of an açaí tree, toast to your balloon safari with bubbly as you tuck into quiche, yogurt, muesli, eggs and croissants.
