点评:Governors Balloon is a long established and experienced balloon company operating in the Masai Mara for 46 years plus and indeed my previous balloon flight with them, had been one of my first, 42 years earlier! I was not disappointed….
We were staying quite close to the launch site so had an easy 30 minute drive to the start point for the traditional predawn coffee and biscuits
Our pilot was Pepe, a very experienced pilot and it showed throughout the flight.
Take off after a brief safety briefing on the use of the safety belt required for landing was in the usual standing position with all customers required to board quickly once the basket was upright although some less mobile customers were preloaded whilst the basket was in its side.
We were the sole balloon from Governors and the flight itself was fantastic watching sunrise whilst skimming over forest, following the Mara river and swooping over the savanna, all with views of a cross section of animals particularly hippo, antelope, vultures, and zebra.
Pepe was great in rotating the basket regularly so all had a broadly equal chance in having a leading view.
The landing, requiring us to clip on and take up our landing positions, was pinpoint close to the waiting vehicles, upright and very smooth.
We then had a 30 minute game drive to our breakfast spot, an unforgettable freshly cooked bush breakfast with Prosecco on the savanna. A superb end to a fun morning.
Governors Balloon have throughout their long history maintained high safety standards, recruited highly experienced pilots and as a result ensured their passengers have an amazing experience.
An incredible morning, Thanks Pepe and team. Highly recommended.

翻译:Governors Balloon 是一家历史悠久、经验丰富的气球公司,在马赛马拉运营了 46 年多,事实上,我上次乘坐他们的气球飞行是我第一次乘坐,那是 42 年前!我没有失望……
我们住的地方离发射场很近,所以开车 30 分钟就到了起点,在那里享用了传统的黎明前咖啡和饼干
我们的飞行员是 Pepe,他是一位非常有经验的飞行员,在整个飞行过程中都表现出了这一点。
在简短的安全简报后,起飞时,飞行员会讲解降落所需的安全带的使用方法,所有乘客都处于通常的站立姿势,一旦篮子直立,所有乘客都必须迅速登机,尽管一些行动不便的乘客在篮子侧面时会预先装好。
我们是 Governors 的唯一一架气球,飞行本身非常棒,一边欣赏日出,一边掠过森林,沿着马拉河,飞过大草原,一路上可以看到各种动物,尤其是河马、羚羊、秃鹫和斑马。
Pepe 非常擅长定期旋转吊篮,因此所有人都有大致相同的机会获得领先视野。
着陆需要我们夹住并占据着陆位置,着陆点靠近等候的车辆,直立且非常平稳。
然后,我们驱车 30 分钟前往早餐地点,在草原上享用令人难忘的新鲜丛林早餐,并配以普罗塞克起泡酒。一个有趣的早晨的完美结束。
Governors Balloon 在其悠久的历史中一直保持着高安全标准,招募了经验丰富的飞行员,从而确保乘客拥有惊人的体验。
一个不可思议的早晨,感谢 Pepe 和团队。强烈推荐。
