Adventure: Balloon from Lake Manyara

on BBC Television

A second chance to see the weekly series of films taken by travellers and explorers on their expeditions throughout the world.

On the second hop of their balloon Sight across East Africa Anthony Smith, Douglas Botting, and Alan Root fly over Lake Manyara and eventually come down near the Ngorongoro Crater. Apart from the thrill of seeing big game animals from a new and strange vantage point as they drift silently over them, the balloonists have to contend with unusual air conditions.
