A new day in Pilanesberg



A familiar sight in the park are the hot air balloons that are seen at dawn, when they take off in the park. It was early one morning, I saw the balloons over the lake. I decided to go in that direction, but came across one of the Big Five, I just had to stop and photograph this magnificent lion. Sadly by the time I was finished taking pictures of the lion, the hot air balloons had drifted further away. I was however able to get a couple of pictures of them over the water. This would seem to me to be an incredible way to view the game park, as the balloon is silent and above the ground, which would give a different perspective to that from a vehicle window.
