  • Governor's Balloon Safaris

Governor's Balloon Safaris Hot air balloon safaris operator since 1978. We offer the best flight path over the Masai Mara. We operate 2-4 balloons daily depending on the season.

Governors' has been pioneering immersive and transformational safaris in the Mara since 1972. We were the first operators to be permanently based inside the Mara for a permanent tented camp and our hot air balloon safaris. Unfenced and right in the heart of the action, our camps are located in some of the best and most precious wildlife locations, right in the heart of the action. We are a family

with a colourful 'cast of characters' that embodies the spirit of safari, while placing the care of the environment, community and conservation at the heart of everything we do. Governors' Balloon Safaris is the prime ballooning operator in the Masai Mara, with a natural launch site located at Little Governor's Camp.

🌍 Make Your Adventure Matter 💚
We believe in leaving the Mara better than we found it. With "Seedbombing", you’re not just exploring—you’re part of a sustainable future.

🌱 What’s Seedbombing?
While you enjoy breathtaking views from our hot air balloons, you’ll drop seedballs—indigenous tree seeds designed to grow and thrive. Together, we’re restoring habitats and protecting the Mara’s beauty for generations.

It’s easy. It’s meaningful. And it’s a way to make your safari more than just a trip.

Let’s fly high and give back. 🌱

Our Story

For over 40 years Governors’ has been pioneering safaris, setting the standard for the classic African safari experience. Today, the Governors’ Camp Collection comprises 8 award winning luxury safari camps and lodges. We are the first hot air balloon operator in the Mara since the early 1970’s and we have flown more than 100,000 happy guests, over the best flight path in the Mara since then!

The adventure begins just before dawn. Departure is from a perfect natural launch site behind Little Governors’ Camp and flames from the balloon burners light the darkness as the crews inflate their craft. The first pink tongues of sunlight flicker across the skies as the balloon envelope fills with hot air, then rises. Suspended in a basket beneath the coloured canopy, you’re off for a wildlife viewing adventure with an entirely different perspective. What amazes most first-time balloonists is the absolute stillness: the silence as you float above all the magic of the Mara unfolding below you!
