Soaring above the Masai Mara in a hot-air balloon at dawn, the views are jaw-dropping. Gazelles and springboks graze in the immense plains, giraffes and elephants chomp leaves off acacia trees. En route to the park, what joy it is to come upon a million pink flamingos feeding on algae and frolicking in the waters of Lake Nakuru. Some take flight in a huge “V” formation against a splendid azure sky, adding to the wondrous sight. At day’s end, after a guided bush walk through Tsavo, one of Kenya’s largest national parks, you return to your camp offering the highest standards of luxury and comfort in the wilderness.
