A herd of over 1000 zebra (time aplenty for counting).

Lions roaring loudly at 2am outside the camp. A lions roar can travel for over a mile during the night so it's hard to say exactly how close they are by their call. And even though there is no fence it's not likely that the big cats would come into the camp itself.

That most beautiful of cats, the leopard, draped over the branch of a thorn tree spotted by the guide from a quarter mile away. Nobody else could make out what he was looking at until they were much closer. Eagle eyes.

Watching a beautiful sunset from the campsite and then tucking in to a tasty dinner.

Olduvai Gorge, which is situated in the eastern part of the Serengeti, is a steep sided ravine which forms part of the Great Rift valley where some of the earliest remains of fossil hominids have been discovered by archaeologists.

Serengeti Africa Tips & Recommendations:

• When it comes to lions, a lot of patience is called for because they spend most of their time during the day asleep. But if you watch them for awhile you might be rewarded by an impromptu hunt or the appearance of cubs from the undergrowth or a similar drama. Patience is the watchword here.

• It's not uncommon for safari vehicles to break down here because most of the roads are dirt tracks and the cars take a pounding every day. Any company worth their salt should be carrying spares and the driver or guide should have some mechanical experience.
