  30 Day Blogging Challenge Arusha Tanzania We're staying at Arusha Serena Hotel and Resort Spa. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g297913-d304446-Reviews-Arusha_Serena_H... https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g297913-d15883436-Miracle_Ex... As dawn breaks over the horizon, you serenely drift over the magnificent marvel of nature, The Serengeti, enjoying an eagle’s eye view of the wildlife theatre as it unfolds below you. You will have ample opportunities to spot wildlife from a different perspective. If you are fortunate, you might be able to spot the Big Five: Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo, and Rhino, as well as giraffe, zebra, hippo, crocodile and a variety of birdlife. Your game viewing opportunities from the sky are endless. Following the flight, you will celebrate with sparkling wine and a splendid bush breakfast in the middle of the Serengeti, capping off what is sure to be your most memorable morning in the skies of Africa. The afternoon we'll be enjoying some of the awesome amenities at our hotel before the BCoF people take us to our next adventure. My room is an oasis in an of itself. A huge bed. A curved desk just under the window with a view that is quite inspiring. I can prop my door open and get a little fresh air. I can even pull a curtain of netting around the bed. Our hotel is set at the heart of a traditional coffee estate in the majestic environs of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, the exquisitely appointed Arusha Serena Hotel, Resort & Spa ( formerly Lake Duluti Serena Hotel) offers heady views over verdant tropical forests, cool mountain walks, a wonderful array of wildlife, roaring fires and superlative cuisine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnMSCYqBBR0 Now this is Africa at its finest! City Tour and history of Arusha, Tanzania - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0iXTd1NcnA The balloon ride is is a unique way to experience a safari. It was one of the most magically memorable of the Serengeti experiences. A balloon safari allowed us to drift in silence above the splendour of the plains. We dipped down to visit the hippo pools of the Grumeti River and enjoyed a bird's eye view of the wildlife theatre as it was enacted below us. This is Africa!!! We were awakened by an early morning cup of tea, then we were driven to the balloon take-off point. There, we met our balloon pilot and watch as the team inflates the enormous rainbow-coloured balloon. As dawn breaks and the balloon slowly rights itself, we were helped into the wicker basket, the sandbags were cast off and the balloon rose majestically into the cool of the morning air. After a 45-minute flight, our balloon descended to the plains, where the ground crew greeted us with a glass of chilled champagne. Later, we had a full English breakfast, which is traditionally cooked on the burners of the balloon. After breakfast, we enjoyed a leisurely game drive back to the lodge. |
