Masai Mara National Park, Kenya
Bucket List Experience
Great Wildebeest Migration [Hot-air balloon flight]This remarkable natural phenomenon sees an annual circular trek of around two million creatures – wildebeest, Thomson’s gazelle and zebra – from the southern Serengeti to the wooded grasslands of Kenya’s Maasai Mara, and back again.
The numbers are terrific, as are the snorting and ‘gnu’ sounds that permeate the air, and the predators that follow this moving feast – from lions and great crocodiles, to scavenging vultures. Possibly the greatest wildlife spectacle on Earth.
