For those of retirement age, the appeal of bungee jumping off a bridge overlooking a deep ravine or trekking along the high ridge tops of Machu Pichu usually lessens as one gets older but that does not mean to say that that is the end of adventure holidays and trying something a little bit different.
How about a peaceful, yet exhilarating, hot air balloon ride floating above the plains of Africa’s Serengeti National Park?
Taking off as the sun rises, you will glimpse wildlife and animals unique to this part of the world. Giraffes browsing on high thorny branches, lions lazing around in the warm sun, zebras and wildebeest migrating towards rivers and waterholes. With outstanding views from your high vantage point, you have the perfect opportunity to capture some amazing photographs which will be the envy of your friends back home. The finale for such an adventure also includes a magnificent champagne breakfast, prepared in the bush and served on the finest bone china – very reminiscent of Hollywood’s “Out of Africa”.
