Our camp also overlooks one of the busiest waterholes in the area and offers elephant, giraffe, and myriad plains game. This is Africa as Teddy Roosevelt saw it years ago when he led one of the first safaris to tour Africa in comfort and splendor. Our tents at Sweetwaters Camp will remind us of this bygone era.

Wherever you go in the Mara you will see a frequent amount of wildlife such as Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, wildebeest.

Typically, a balloon safari begins at break of dawn, about 6 am, and lasts for around 1 hour, during which you will fly over parts of the vast Masai Mara plain, seeing the magnificent wildlife below, spread over several square kilometers of the reserve. Balloon flights are available daily in Masai Mara and take off from designated sites where the disturbance to animals is kept to a minimum. The flight is followed by a champagne breakfast “in the bush”, with a well laid out seating arrangement and waiters on hand, to give you a fitting final to your memorable flight in the wild. Then you will start a game drive again with our driver guide. Picnic lunch offers wonderful scenery. The lunch box is packed by the hotel you stay. After lunch you will continue with game drive.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • There is a very good chance! Kenya’s Maasai Mara and Tanzania’s Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are among the best places in Africa to spot the Big Five: lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino. While sightings of leopards and rhinos can be more rare, our experienced guides maximize your chances by knowing where to go and when.

  • Pack lightweight, neutral-colored clothing, a warm layer for chilly mornings, a sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, binoculars, a camera, and comfortable walking shoes. Don’t forget a refillable water bottle, personal medications, and travel documents. Many lodges offer laundry services, so you can pack light.

  • Absolutely. Kenya and Tanzania are very welcoming to families, and many lodges and safari operators (like Breezy Tours and Travel) offer child-friendly accommodations, meals, and guides. Game drives are designed with safety in mind, and lodges often offer special educational activities for kids. We also provide child car seats, shorter drives, and flexible schedules for young travelers.

  • Yes, most international travelers need a visa to enter both countries. Kenya: Apply for an e-visa online at evisa.go.ke before arrival. Tanzania: You can apply online at eservices.immigration.go.tz or get a visa on arrival at major entry points. Always check the latest requirements based on your nationality before you travel.

  • The best time for safari in both Kenya and Tanzania is during the dry seasons — June to October and January to February. These months offer excellent wildlife viewing, especially the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara (Kenya) and Serengeti (Tanzania) between July and October. However, both countries are year-round destinations with different highlights in each season.
