If you were to ask me "What was your favorite part of your African Safari?," I would tell you I had two favorite parts. One was our hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti just as the sun was rising on a new day.

Every guidebook about Tanzania says you MUST take a balloon ride over the Serengeti. There was one other instance when Mom and I were encouraged to take a balloon ride — when we visited The Magical Cappadocia in Turkey a number of years ago. We had hemmed and hawed, debating whether the balloon adventure was too lavish for us. When on our last day in Cappadocia arrived, we decided to take the balloon ride. Alas, the weather wasn't ideal, and so the balloon excursion didn't happen. So when the opportunity for a hot air balloon ride arose for our trip to Africa, we didn't hesitate. We made it happen, and we are so glad we did. What an AMAZING experience!
