Tuesday: Natural Site

On Tuesday we woke up super early at like 3am to go to the safari. But i didn't want to do anything that would upset the animals in their natural habitat, So i felt it necessary for us to take a hot air balloon up into the sky and take a Arial look at the worlds greatest safari . We went to the Tsavo East National Park Were we were able to see the "BIG 5" (Buffalo ,Leopard, Lions ,Rhinos, elephants) ,and we even got caught up in a swarm of African pelicans flying at our eye level. I booked us all on a all day trip . were arrived at the station at 5am and had to go through a safety course, they treated us to a champagne breakfast and sent us up in the balloon. we stayed up for 4 hours and came back down to stretch and bathroom break, but we went back out for a long period of time , just soaring through the safari going as high as we could go and then also lowering the balloon when we saw different game. This was the first time i had ever seen a lion, the king of the jungle. when we got off the hot air balloon it was around 7pm and it was dark already but they treated us to a candle light dinner under a tree out in the middle of nowhere. (i have no idea how they got our food there)

Our hotel service has a shuttle that went directly to Tsavo East National Park, it was a little difficult to get them to drive us at 3am but with a small tip anythings possible(- 25 USD). We had to let the shuttle know what time to pick us up , but the shuttle arrived 30 minutes late, we didnt get back to our hotel till 11ish. - 25 USD
