Another photo taken on our balloon trip over the Serengeti. We were flying low above a herd of wildebeest when the balloon pilot increased the gas to increase our elevation & the loud 'roar' spooked this guy pretty badly!

:) It was a great experience & an excellent way to observe the wildlife who mostly didn't seem as phased by us as this guy!
