Skyship Company; hot air balloon safari flights in Kenya over the Masai Mara from Kichwa Tembo

Skyship Co., L.T.D has been operating in the Masai Mara since 2006.

Their camp is located on the western bank of the Mara River. It is about a 10 minute drive from Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp, and a 15 minute drive from Oloololo Gate (the North West gate of the Masai Mara Reserve).
 
Skyship has 3 balloons: Linstrand 180 (6 passengers) and two Firefly galaxy 11 (10 passengers).


Skyship launch the balloons from their camp near Kichwa Tembo at sun rise. Large electric fans cold-inflate the balloon; the electric fans are operating silently so that the guests can hear animals in the serene atmosphere of the Mara. When the balloon is inflated the pilot lights the gas burners and heats the balloon. The heat launches the balloon in to the air. As soon as the balloon is launched, the passengers step inside the basket and the pilot takes off.

The average flight duration is 1hr; traveling approximately 15 to 25 Km depending the wind condition. On 95% of the days the wind takes you south deep into the Masai Mara Reserve where they land. Up on landing a luxurious Champagne breakfast is served followed by a game drive en route your journey back to you hotel, camp, or lodge.
