SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK (by Tom Powell)
We arrived there around midday  it was hot, dry and we were tired, but I was armed with a bottle
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
1) & & & & & & .
Our first major spot came just as we entered the national park boundaries. It was a lion 
a beautiful, strong female, seeking shade from the hot African sun, nestling on the thick
2) & & & & & & of a huge tree! I was utterly delighted to see such a beautiful specimen, dozing
contentedly and occasionally glancing down at us with her golden eyes.
Continuing further into the national park, we spotted another big cat. This time it was a leopard. We
stopped for minutes on end to take pictures, look through binoculars, and simply gaze at this sleek
and adaptable hunter. Leopards are notoriously shy and elusive creatures, and we knew we were

every corner!
Our suspicions were confirmed when we happened upon a huge clump of deep green palms.
Wanting a closer look, we drove on, only to find a veritable oasis in the heart of the Serengeti.
There were hippos  and plenty of them. Hippos in the water, hippos on the banks, hippos in the
grass, and hippos wandering on the huge rocks. Amongst the much larger hippos in the group there
were also a handful of juvenile hippos which looked miniature when standing side by side with
their elders. However, even these younger specimens simply dwarfed the other 4) & & & & & & at
the watering hole  crocodiles. The hippos were utterly unperturbed by the presence of these
prehistoric, sinister and utterly motionless creatures, sometimes even nudging them out of their path
to the water!
