The annual wildebeest migration experienced from a balloon in Kenya's Maasai Mara
A once in a lifetime experience like no other.
Huntington Beach, CA (PRWEB) January 06, 2014
The ultimate in adventurous experiences, the new balloon safaris from ToKenya.com is priced at just $349. Thought to be the lowest ever price for a ballooning safari experience in East Africa, the industry best fee is designed to place the delights of a serene journey above the clouds within reach of every traveler considering a vacation to Africa.
Traditionally reserved for the rich and famous and beloved of celebrities such as Robert Redford, Goldie Hawn and Jackie Kennedy, the cost of ballooning fluctuates from around $500 per person to the previous lowest available balloon safari package of $450. Thanks to ToKenya.com, many more American tourists will now be able to experience the sheer, breathtaking exhilaration of the Serengeti and Maasai Mara National Reserve from the air. Floating high above the savannah on gentle air currents and rising with the sun to gracefully glide across the expansive landscape, guests will enjoy a bird’s eye view of one of Africa’s most fertile nature reserves.
Charles Kasing'a, Vice President for Sales & Marketing said, “ToKenya.com is delighted to announce the launch of our once in a lifetime balloon safaris. We’re passionate about ballooning and believe that an airborne view of the Maasai Mara National Reserve is an unforgettable, inspirational experience that many more should have the chance to enjoy. We were determined to create an experience that was accessible to all and worked with our local partners to be able to offer the lowest pricing in the industry for an adventure that is simply out of this world.”
Commencing just before sunrise, the ToKenya.com balloon safari has been carefully planned to showcase the majesty of the Serengeti & Maasai Mara. Guests will travel in one of a fleet of prestigious Cameron Balloons, made by aviation experts in Bristol, England. Standing at 10 stories tall, the balloons glide gracefully through a route determined by Mother Nature herself – carried on the prevailing winds of the day. The flight lasts around one hour, during which time those aboard will descend over the plains for a close look at the wildlife below and then soar effortlessly above the canopy for an aerial view of the iconic landscape.
An elegant champagne breakfast, complete with flowers and served on china and crystal under the shade of an Acacia tree, waits at the end of the safari. Giving travelers a chance to come back down to earth following the once in a lifetime journey, guests will then be escorted back to their lodge or camp with a game drive led by an experienced local guide.
