The early morning rise in the dark was warmed with a hot sweet coffee, but the sight of the rising sun on the Serengeti made it more than worthwhile. The first animals appeared quickly this morning – a gracious elephant herd grazing, on a day which will forever be known as elephant day.
Again, the plethora of animals was spectacular, as they all appeared keen to avoid the heat of the midday sun, by making an early appearance, much to our delight.

| The first proper sighting! |
Excitement rose as Simba’s had been spotted across the plains making an early morning kill. With great excitement we approached the scene, but the long Serengeti grass obscured the full picture, but we could see Simba’s mane shining brightly in the early morning sun.

With a little movement, the true tally of the pride was seen, 5 females, 2 cubs and 2 males. The lions were so close to our jeep that I was terrified my beating heart would betray my excitement: I realised I was holding my breath!
