Balloon Safari Adventure

Have you ever seen the pictures of people in hot-air balloons, looking down on elephants and lion in the Masai Mara or Serengeti?  If you haven't, scroll down for pictures.  If you've never been on a balloon safari in East Africa, keep reading (this very brief article).

BALLOON SAFARIS

Downside:  
It costs around $450 per person (discounts available through www.travel-wild.com :D)
You have to wake up at 4 or 5am in order to be ready to launch at 6am
You probably don't want to be afraid of heights

Upside:  
Ride in a hot air balloon for 45-60 min
Your pilot will be able to teach you about the hot air balloon and the wildlife/landscape below
View the wildlife beneath you as the sun rises (the best time to view wildlife)
Get an appreciation for the vast landscape
Get amazing pictures from a unique perspective
Champagne bush breakfast with your pilot and fellow ballooners at the end
Safaris don't happen every day, might as well experience everything possible
