The traditional way of game viewing is from a four-wheel drive vehicle but why not sail over the grasslands in a hot air balloon?
Made famous by the legendary Jane Goodall, the chimpanzees of Tanzania are now protected in two national parks situated on the mountains slopes on the shores of Lake Tanganyika.
