BALLOON SAFARIS

Balloon safaris are operated from all the major lodges and camps in the Masai Mara, Taita hills lodge and Serengeti. It is an enthralling sight, as just before dawn, the balloons are inflated and prepared for flight. As the sun rises, the balloon slowly lifts above the trees to catch the gentle early morning air-current. Drifting silently a few hundred feet above the ground, reveals a new dimension to the landscape of the Mara. Marvel at herds of wildbeest peacefully grazing on the still-dump grass, while elephant and buffalo can be seen picking their way through the riverine forests. Look out for lion families perched haughtily on a knoll, surveying the domain. After about one hour flight, descend slowly to the open plain for an assisted landing. It is then time to relax as the sun warms the plain and the staff prepare a sumptuous al-fresco breakfast.

 

 

LAKE VICTORIA FISHING

Lake Victoria, the 2nd largest fresh water lake in the world, is a fisherman's paradise. Nile perch abound and fish over 100 pounds are regularly caught from the main islands in the lake - Takawiri, Rusinga and Mfangano. Takawiri Island is one of the most beautiful Islands on Lake Victoria. White sandy beaches stretch into unspoiled natural landscape, a haven for hippo, otters and vast array of bird life. The luxury chalet-style accommodation offer comfort and privacy for our select clientele. Enjoy sumptuous meals served with breath-taking lake views. This trip operates from Maasai Mara. Depart by light aircraft from the Mara either at dawn or after breakfast. Return to your Mara camp or lodge in the evening. Visitors may stay overnight.

 

OXWAGON SAFARIS

When the European settlers first arrived on the mainland of East Africa some 90 years ago they either travelled by the newly constructed railway, walked or went by Ox wagon. This was an infinitely slow method of getting around, but they did see the country in more detail. Now you can discover what it was like for those fearless settlers to travel over country that has not changed in a thousand years. See the birds and animals at a slow pace instead of rushing along a road and if you want to stretch your legs just step off the wagon and walk along side. Inside the wagon there are comfortable seats, cool refreshments and shade. At night stay in a luxury tented camp with hot showers and cordon bleu cuisine around a cosy campfire. We offer a 3 day oxwagon safari in the country around Lake Naivasha. The maximum number of participants is 12.

 

WEDDINGS AND HONEYMOONS

Kenya is a prime destination for honeymooners. However, why not start the whole celebration here and have an exotic wedding in a Beach Hotel in one of our paradise islands, or in one of our lodges. We can make all the arrangements including photographer, wedding cake, bouquet or other celebrations.
