A balloon flight across Tanganyika took Anthony Smith, Douglas Botting, and Alan Root to the Serengeti Reserve. Here there are half a million of the larger game species.
Swinging silently in a wickerwork basket they watched the migration of vast herds of wildebeest. After landing they watched young wildebeest being born and found themselves involved in a fight between wildebeest, hyenas, and rhinos.
First transmission on Sept. 6, 1962
