Out of the Ashes. Clouds of ash from the Masai Mountain of God drift over Africa's Rift Valley creating the Serengeti plains, a place of unsurpassed grandeur and beauty.

Rain collects in the Rift Valley to form lakes, a few of which are home for only the most specialised of animals such as flamingos which thrive in their millions in these most inhospitable of places.
Narrated by Andrew Sachs. Producers Keith Scholey and Adrian Warren
