On day nine Greg and Kim gave me the surprise gift of an early morning balloon ride over the Serengeti! Up at 4:30 we rode and hour in the dark witnessing the African night live including the elusive bat eared fox.
We took off at sunrise and saw a lioness enjoying a wildebeest breakfast and observed the trails in the grasses blazed by various migrating animals.
An elephant family was eating some fresh greenery and a couple cape buffalo graze in the early morning sun.
A pair of jackle were startled by the sound of our burner. Hippos scattered from their pool as we approached.
The Serengeti is alive.
Sounds like fun! Safe travels!
