Why book a hot air balloon?: From my experience last year, I can comfortably say spending USD 500 for a balloon is one of the best decisions I made.

The balloon is an experience from waking up early at 5.00 Am to head to the launching site to launch itself, the flying, and the landing.

Guest Reviews and Testimonials
Here are some of the reviews from the previous guests who have stayed in Governors Il Moran Camp.
I cannot recommend the Il Moran camp highly enough! by Curiosity12775264694
“I cannot recommend the Il Moran camp highly enough. The setting is fantastic, overlooking the Mara river, with hippos bathing throughout the day; the staff are so friendly and attentive; the “tents” are first class, the food is superb and the atmosphere is very relaxed.
Our guide, Enos, ensured that we saw everything we wanted to and more; he was knowledgeable and helpful throughout. We enjoyed breakfasts and lunches in the bush as well as a fantastic hot air balloon ride and he kept us away from the crowds so that it truly felt like we had the whole of the Masai Mara to ourselves (along with the animals of course). The team (in conjunction with the Kuoni local rep) even managed to return a wallet to us that had been left in one of the safes before we left Kenya.”
Wonderful stay in Masai Mara! By Julie K
“We had a wonderful stay at this luxury camp. The food was delicious. The service was excellent. Our guide took us all over to see so many animals that cheetahs in the wildebeest were my favorite! We went on two game drives a day and there were drinks at sunset in the middle of the bush. I highly recommend the air balloon ride over the Savannah to see the elephants, cape buffalo zebras, and whoever else might be passing underneath at sunrise.”
