of water, a camera and my binoculars, and nothing could dampen my spirits when I saw the vast
plains of the Serengeti expanded around me. This terrain was simply perfect for spotting
animals.

prehistoric, sinister and utterly motionless 4) ……………… , sometimes even nudging them out of
their path to the water!
