Balloon flights typically take off at 6.30am. Passengers arrive in time to watch the balloon inflation as the pilots torch the colored fabric to life. The flight is for one hour, each on different path and following the days prevailing winds.

A Balloon flight allows passengers to float over the world's most spectacular game reserve, and offers a magical bird's eye view of the annual wildebeest migration and the other wildlife the Mara is famous for.

On landing, the balloon crew set up a full champagne breakfast on the Mara plains. Each passenger then receives a certificate from their pilot as a special memoir of their flight. A game drive enroute to the lodge or camp ends a special morning.

Nature Walks

Have a feel of the wilderness as you walk amid the animals with trained Maasai tracker/guide/naturalists. The walk will give you an opportunity of appreciating the openness of the wild and learn about the existing flora and fauna.

Maasai Cultural Visit

This will include a visit to a traditional Maasai village or homestead. Here you will be taught about the Maasai culture and way of life. A Maasai Moran will explain how the Maasai coexist with the natural environment. The visit will not end without a dance from the Moran's and women.

Other activities organized by the camp include:

• Picnic breakfasts, bush lunches and bush dinners
• Organized safaris into the Maasai Mara game reserve (game viewing)
• Evening entertainment (traditional dancing and story-telling) by Maasai warriors
• Volunteer opportunities for clients who would like to give their services and skills to the community's social and economic projects (mixing volunteerism with travel)

Oldarpoi Mara Camp is built with all the comforts of home, including hot showers, beds with pillows, sheets, blankets and mosquito nets, and porches with armchairs.

A station by a generator that supplies lights and refrigeration for the dining area allows cell phones and digital cameras to be recharged. In line with its advocated eco-tourism concepts, Oldarpoi Mara Camp has a comprehensive solar system through funding by the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany.
