Film taken on an African Safari, [c.1951-1953]

Opening with wide view of cars driving uphill, mountain ranges and thatched huts in distance, and 2 Africans walking on a track. Cluster of huts in close-up - one large, 2 outbuildings. Flowering shrubs and fertile fields in distance. Lake in distinctive crater shape (this could be the Ngongoro Crater and its lodge which Haslam mentions in his notes) with village of thatched huts. At the lake, a group of approx. 4 African adults (one woman in bright dress) and 3 children. Distant waterfalls. Looking down at broad street on causeway to small island on the Lake, where there are many parked cars. A gathering of large number of local people, general view of farmland gives way to tiled roofed single storey building with flagpole and flag (black, yellow, red) and 2 khaki clad officials. Sunset and distant mountains, silhouette of semi-tropical vegetation. 02:29 Villagers with cattle and carrying water before opening out into elephants and water buffalo - elephant spraying itself. At the water's edge large herd of hippo wallowing and yawning. Camera follows large tusked elephant as it ambles through tall grass. Herd of elephants, including young calves. The sequence is leisurely, following the huge mammals, and catches a flock of pelicans on the Lake edge and a terrapin.
