A second showing of a weekly series of films taken by travellers and explorers on their expeditions throughout the world.

In 1862 Jules Verne published his Five Weeks in a Balloon, describing a fictitious air journey from Zanzibar to Senegal. One hundred years later Anthony Smith and Douglas Botting flew by balloon from Zanzibar across the sea channel to the mainland of Africa. In this first of three films the balloonists are forced to land in the African bush.
