The climate, plants, and animals of the Serengeti have scarcely changed in the past million years, making its unique ecosystem one of the oldest on Earth.
About two million years ago, modern man’s early ancestors made an appearance in the Olduvai Gorge and it’s thought the first steps our forebearers took were taken on the plains of the Serengeti.
The vast plains of the Serengeti comprise 12,000 square miles of savannah and host an epic annual migration of massive herds of herbivores followed by the predators that hunt them to watering holes that is one of the most impressive natural events in the world.
