A group of visitors to Kenya had an unforgettable experience in a hot air balloon earlier this year when they passed directly over a giant herd of stampeding wildebeests.<br /><br />The incredible footage, which was captured over the Maasai Mara back in August, shows the hot air balloon floating above the enormous herd.<br /><br />When the pilot fires up the burner, the antelopes take fright and begin to stampede beneath the delighted tourists.<br /><br />The behaviour of the pilot in the video does appear a little reckless, although none of the animals came to any harm.<br /><br />Wildebeests, also called gnus, belong to the family Bovidae, which includes antelopes, cattle, goats, sheep, and other even-toed horned ungulates
