Hot-air balloon fly over savannah at a height of 10-12 meters.
Hot-air balloon flight over the Serengeti National Park is popular during "green season" - from November till June - in the evenings it is time of steady rains and in the mornings all the nature around becomes fresh and green.
During this period the Great African Migration occurs here - hundreds of thousands of wildebeests and zebras move through savannah seeking for new grazing fields. It is a little more pleasant to watch this phenomenon from the height rather than follow the animals in a jeep with a fear to scare them away.
