If you ever do a balloon ride over the maasai mara it is simply breathtaking. But the day you are supposed to do and have had it booked for 11 months and you get up at 3.30am to do it and no one turns up to collect you ,don't bother contacting Viator because they won't be interested.
So needless to say won't be using them again. A business man once said to me "we don't have problems, just solutions".
Viator take heed
