Heavy rains and thunderstorms in the southern Serengeti

HerdTracker update 13 Jan 2020 by Serengeti Balloon Safaris

With the heavy rains and thunderstorms, the pilot and guests had a beautiful flight, with light winds, amazing cloudy skies, and a beautiful sunrise. The pilot slowly moved to the south at a low level towards the southwest flying over tens of thousands of wildebeest and zebras.

The Great Wildebeest Migration was surrounding the balloon as they went down to the lower level. Not only did they witness the great migration, but they also saw hyenas, Thompson gazelle’s, Grant gazelle’s, jackals, and a Kori bustard.
