Hot Air Balloon Over the Wildebeest Migration

HerdTracker update 05 Dec 2018 by Niamh Mc Namara

There are some things that just have to be done in a lifetime and hot air ballooning over the Masai Mara wildebeest migration is one of them. There is little that can match the aesthetic appeal of a huge colourful balloon rising like an airborne out of the pre-dawn darkness into the first rays of the sun.

Niamh captured the herds in the Masai Mara heading towards the Serengeti during her hot air balloon safaris.
