Description
Welcome to the Serengeti and the Maasai Mara plains! In this area, the awesome spectacle of two millions of wildebeest, zebra and Tomson’s gazelle stampeding their annual-migration route for two millions of years has made itself the seventh New Wonder of the World. This spectacular land animal movement is found nowhere else on earth but in the Serengeti. What prompts this massive exodus in the animal kingdom? How do they do it? What impacts have resulted from it? We will find out in this book about the Serengeti and Serengeti families. In the Maasai language the word Serengeti means an “extended plain.” Indeed, the place covers 15,500 square miles of grassland, straddling two African countries, Kenya and Tanzania. It is an area teemed with wildlife. At its heart is the Serengeti National Park. It’s one of the best-known wildlife sanctuaries in the world, and symbolizes the classic African safari.
