Gazette readers George Roig, John Barry and Michael Dorsey, shown here fitting in some pre‑flight Gazette reading before their hot‑air balloon adventure over the Serengeti, were traveling as part of a 13‑day East Africa safari. Their journey took them across Tanzania, where they spotted the Big Five and watched sweeping zebra migrations stretch across the plains. They wrapped up their travels in Zanzibar, enjoying a swim in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.
