Activities include daily game drives, afternoon game walks, night game drives, park fees, return airstrip transfers, sundowners bush breakfasts, lunches or dinners.

Part of the experience at Cottar's is a Masai Mara balloon safari. In fact, if you're in the Mara and you don't go up - you will be missing the best reason to be there.

Starting at dawn the crew will inflate the balloon, while the burners give light in the darkness...

Imagine a plain with hundreds of species of animals. The only way to enjoy this is by flying above to see the animals in their masses. The sounds made by the wildlife can be clearly heard in the hot air balloon. It is one of the most stunning Masai Mara balloon safari scenes.

After the balloon trip you will be served a glorious champagne breakfast. The breakfast will occur in the bush wherever the balloon lands. The pilots used for the trips are experienced and have international credibility. Please remember to have a warm jacket for the fresh part of the morning.
