🕰️ Hot Air Balloon Safari Serengeti history

Through the use of hot-air balloons to capture scenes for Survival Special: The Year of the Wildebeest (1974), Alan and Joan Root further investigated the hot-air balloon’s potential for filming wildlife in the East African mountains and plains in Balloon Safari. The first hot-air balloon flight above Mount Kilimanjaro and the Serengeti was a highlight of the trip.
