And we will also be observing and photographing them during the day. We will take time to experience a Masai Market and a village. One of the highlights of our trip is the HOT AIR BALLOON flight. With a view over the river and the savanna at sunrise that will take your breath away. The photographic opportunities are very special and unique up there.
