Serengeti.\u00c2\u00a0 This is where all the animals of the Migration (especially the Wildebeest and Zebra) come to give birth each year. \u00c2\u00a0All total there are something like 2 million animals involved, and roaming the area are countless predators, who follow the herds waiting for such an abundance of food.\u00c2\u00a0 Needless to say it is quite an amazing spectacle, reminiscent of what the Great Plains of the USA must have been like several hundred years ago with the herds of bison.\u00c2\u00a0 Tomorrow the team will visit Olduvai Gorge, the site of many archeological discoveries.\u00c2\u00a0 Then, they will go to Ngorongoro Crater, and take a nice game drive down to see the resident population of animals. \u00c2\u00a0So far so good in Tanzania!<\/p>\n<p>Eric
