Serengeti South Flight Report

HerdTracker update 05 Feb 2016 by Serengeti Balloon Safaris

Hi HerdTracker,

We had an amazing flight this morning with 15 passengers onboard.

The weather was excellent this morning and we flew for 1.1 hours and landed with 8 knots after the triangle.

We flew right over the migration throughout the flight. We started halfway through the herd and we could not see their end.

There are wildebeests here in millions, not in thousands!

We also saw a pack of hyenas with a kill while some were chasing baby wildebeest. In addition there were a lot of Grant's gazelles, zebra, Thomson's gazelles, jackal, eland and African hares.

Our guests were in awe of this spectacle of nature from an exciting perspective.

Regards,
Captain Jones
