• Collected at 4am from camp.
• Francis, our driver had another stop and then we were off, 6 of us in total.
• Francis navigated the treacherous gravel roads with ease and we arrived at our destination over an hour or so after our last pick up.
• As dawn broke we were given a safety briefing from the pilot who was very funny, engaging and reassuring, clearly very experienced having done this for many years.
• We lifted off and had a birdseye view of the landscape of the Massai Mara with the animals beneath.. just outstanding.
• We didn't see as many animals and I thought we would but the views from the basket were amazing and worth the trip all the same.
• Breakfast was laid out in the bush which was approx 40min drive from where we landed but Francis was on hand to shuttle us to the location.
• Fresh omelettes, beans, potatoes, sausages and some pasteries were served with juice or champagne. There are also toilets and sinks set up here.
• After breakfast Francis drove us to link up with our original tour to continue with our safari.
• Would highly recommend this as a once in a lifetime type of experience it certainly meets the expectations.
