Granite islands set in the Serengeti's rolling ocean of grassland called 'kopjes' are a lair for lions and cheetahs. Huge trees, secret pools and a wealth of plants hide and feed the curious hydraxes, the acrobatic agama lizards, and giraffes, klipspringers and huge eagles. Such animals endure even the driest of seasons here, finding refuge among these ancient African rocks. Narrated and produced by BARRY PAINE
