Ballooning over the Serengeti

 One of the highlights of this journey was ballooning over the Serengeti.  I booked this beforehand as I knew that a balloon ride in general was on my wife's bucket list, and I couldn't think of a better place to do it.  The lenses I brought were specifically to capture the elements of this momentous occasion, and yet, our driver failed to give me my lens bag before we took off.  So, I was stuck with my 12mm lens for the occasion.  It gave some interesting wide angle shots.




We had to get up at 3:30am to make it in time to the launch site and see sunrise.









After the balloon ride, we had lunch and found this close relative of the elephant, a rock hyrax
