点评:This early morning balloon ride was a wonderful and peaceful way to start the day. About a 15-20minute drive from our Kilima Camp accommodation near Maasai Mara, we were greeted with coffee/tea as we watched our balloon being expanded. Our Pilot Ali was exceptional. We were fortunate enough to be the only two people scheduled, so we had a very intimate experience as Ali took us over the Maasai Mara as the sun rose. We saw hippos returning to the river, and elephants and giraffes traversing the savanna. A balloon ride gives you a completely different perspective and is such a serene way to start the morning and see the animals. After our ‘Hollywood’ landing, we were treated to a wonderful breakfast in the bush - mimosas, eggs to order, waffles, you name it. We enjoyed our breakfast with Ali and watched a tower of giraffes enjoy their breakfast not far from us. Would highly recommend.
We felt very safe and well informed on the positions we needed to be in for take off and landing. Ali was very thorough with his safety checks throughout the balloon and made sure we understood our roles. He was very knowledgeable of the animals, their behaviors and where to find them first thing in the morning. A friendly and experienced professional.
翻译:清晨的热气球之旅是开启美好一天的绝佳方式,宁静而惬意。从我们位于马赛马拉附近的基利马营地出发,大约15-20分钟车程,我们就抵达了目的地。在那里,我们一边享用咖啡/茶,一边看着热气球缓缓升起。我们的飞行员阿里技艺精湛。我们很幸运,当天只有我们两个人,因此,当阿里带着我们飞越马赛马拉,欣赏日出美景时,我们得以享受一段非常私密的体验。我们看到了河马返回河边,以及大象和长颈鹿在稀树草原上漫步。热气球之旅带给我们截然不同的视角,是开启清晨、观赏动物的绝佳方式。热气球“好莱坞式”着陆后,我们在灌木丛中享用了一顿丰盛的早餐——含羞草鸡尾酒、现点现做的鸡蛋、华夫饼等等,应有尽有。我们和阿里一起享用早餐,还看到一群长颈鹿在不远处悠闲地享用着它们的早餐。强烈推荐!
我们感到非常安全,并且充分了解了起飞和降落时需要保持的位置。阿里在整个热气球飞行过程中都非常细致地进行了安全检查,并确保我们清楚各自的职责。他对动物们了如指掌,了解它们的习性,并且知道清晨在哪里可以找到它们。他是一位友好且经验丰富的专业人士。
