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  
animals.  

 
Our first 1) ……………… 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  
bough 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 2) ……………… . Leopards are notoriously shy and elusive creatures, and we knew

around every corner!

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 species 
at the watering hole – crocodiles. The hippos were utterly unperturbed by the presence of these 
prehistoric, sinister and utterly motionless 4) ……………… , sometimes even nudging them out of 
their path to the water!
