If you are not sure entirely where the Serengeti is located, start by checking out

The Serengeti may cover a huge geographical area but we learn from this fascinatiing
BBC Four documentary that it has a surprisingly delicate ecology. Here we see numerous species of herbivores sharing the same space without impinging on each other; giraffes eat the leaves from the tops of trees, while antelope nibble lower down.
