HOT AIR BALLOON SAFARI 

Your balloon is inflated against the first rays of sunrise and once aloft floats gently over the plains and the plethora of game. After around one hour the balloon lands and nearby breakfast is already being prepared. The smells of bacon, sausages and eggs drift on the breeze as you begin breakfast with platefuls of exotic Kenyan fruits and homemade pastries and, of course, glasses of bubbly to toast your flight.

FLYING EXCURSION IN A VINTAGE BI-PLANE 

A flight of a lifetime in a bi-plane of the golden era, with all the performance and safety requirements of a modern aircraft. This open cock-pit aircraft can carry two passengers side-by-side while the pilot flies from the rear. The hour long flight is a dream ride in the Finch-Hatton tradition. These popular bi-planes were originally manufactured in the 1920s and 30s by Weaver Aircraft Company hence the rather odd name Waco. Wacos have a beautiful leather interior, the best music intercom system and a three-way camera system that will enable passengers to take this once-in-a-life-time flying experience home.
