Anthony Smith recounts his extraordinary 1962 “Sunday Telegraph Balloon Safari,” a true story of crossing Africa by gas balloon. Accompanied by a photographer and a filmmaker, Smith transports his balloon, Jambo, and tons of hydrogen cylinders across Zanzibar and Tanganyika (now Tanzania). The narrative captures the joys, terrors, and logistical challenges of early ballooning over the African wilderness, offering a unique, bird’s-eye perspective on the land and its wildlife during a monumental expedition.
