Barnabas Mudi

Chief Pilot & Head of Operations

Chief Pilot and Head of Operations Barnabas Mudi has been flying nearly 15 years. His journey into aviation began in the United States, a remarkable start given his first flight to America was also his first flight in any aircraft. Now at home in the sky, Barnabas has flown across all parts of Kenya’s iconic Masai Mara and possesses vast knowledge of ballooning in Tanzania. 

Among all the places he has flown, the amazing Mara Triangle home of Governors’ Balloon Safaris holds a special place as his favorite. Beyond his professional life, Barnabas is a devoted father of four and a preacher of the gospel, roles he believes contribute to making him a better person.
