OPTIONAL EXCURSIONS 
Hot Air Ballooning in the Masai Mara is heartily 
recommended as a unique method of sightseeing and game 
viewing-no other aerial experience can compare with 
the slow, silent, hawk's-eye view it provides. 
Available every morning during the nine-month dry 
season (providing appropriate weather prevails), 
ballooning is safe, spectacular-and very popular. We 
suggest an early reservation if you wish to add this 
optional excursion to your itinerary. See page 103 for 
details.

Lake Victoria Flying Safaris center around Rusinga 
Island, just 40 minutes from the Masai Mara by charter 
air. Rusinga is a renowned archaeological site, with 
unusual stone formations, and the island can be used 
as a base for a fishing expedition - Lake Victoria's 
Nile Perch can weigh more than 200 pounds. See page 
103 for more information. 

EXTENDING YOUR SAFARI 
Many other options for extending your trip are 
available, and can be added prior to or following your 
scheduled safari. See our "Off the Beaten Path" series 
of programs beginning on page 92 of this brochure and

THE TANZANIA HEMINGWAY SAFARI 
A Fourteen-Day Classic Tented Safari with Optional 
Extensions to 
The Masai Mara and Mt. Kenya Safari Club 

This classic tented safari makes a matchless 
experience in the great game parks of northern 
Tanzania available to you-in a style that, until 
recently, only such adventurers as Ernest Hemingway, 
Robert Ruark and Teddy Roosevelt have known. Just as 
theirs did, your camps move with you as your staff 
moves to new destinations when you are out exploring 
in the bush. Tents, furniture, water and food, 
lanterns and all the other equipment necessary to your 
comfort in the bush are transported to your next 
campsite, to be ready for your return at the end of 
the day. On the Tanzania Hemingway Safari, you camp in 
Tarangire National Park, famous for elephant and 
indigenous birds; spend a night, as your staff moves 
camp, at charming Gibb's Farm; and camp again near the 
shores of Lake Manyara, nestled in the Great Rift 
Valley's mahogany and fig forests. After two nights at 
the lodge on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, an 
ancient volcanic caldera which encloses its own 
remarkable "lost world," spend the next three nights 
in your own tented camp on the Serengeti Plains. Each 
year this vast acacia-studded expanse hosts 
one-and-a-half million wildebeest and one million 
zebra and gazelle, on their Great Migration in a 
search for life-sustaining grass, truly one of the 
world's great wildlife spectacles. Two options in 
Kenya are available to prolong the fun: game viewing 
in the fabled Masai Mara and a stay at the world 
renowned Mt. Kenya Safari Club.

HOT AIR BALLOONING IN AFRICA 

Imagine drifting slowly and silently over the vast 
African plains, as the sun breaks on the horizon. 
Spread beneath you is a panorama of African wilderness 
that surpasses anything you have seen before: elephant 
looking improbably small next to scattered trees 
antelope flowing in waves across the rippled fields; a 
pair of lionesses stalking a knot of wildebeest; and 
cheetah glancing up as the shadow of the huge balloon 
crosses their paths. We heartily recommend ballooning 
in Africa, both to first-timers and to those who have 
made an ascent before, because no other aerial 
experience can compare with this hawk's-eye view. 
        Balloon trips are available every morning 
during the nine-month dry season (providing that 
appropriate weather conditions prevail) in the Masai 
Mara National Reserve in Kenya and in Tanzania's 
Serengeti National Park. After about an hour aloft, 
you descend to be met by your ground crew and a 
sumptuous champagne breakfast in the bush. The cost is 
approximately $350 per person. 
        The balloons in which you travel are the 
largest used anywhere in the world, piloted and 
operated by professionals with many hours of 
experience in the air. 
        Balloon safaris should be booked at the time 
your program reservation is made with Abercrombie & 
Kent.
