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.

She is alone. She hasn't seen a relative or another of her kind since her adolescence. Loneliness is her constant companion from sunrise to sunset, day in and day out, and year after year. Through the vast savannah, she rambles aimlessly-or she wanders in search of a mate. Whichever it is, time is running out. Now, she is about to pass her prime; will she find a mate? SHE IS DESPERATE FOR COMPANIONSHIP! In Zambia, Africa, only one lioness is left roaming Zambia's vast Liuwa Plain: her pride and other lions were wiped out by humans and lack of food stock. She has been alone for nearly eight years. Until one day while patrolling she catches sight of a vehicle parked on the grassland with a cameraman and his crew inside. Her curiosity prompts her to get close to watch these humans. Although the memory of how humans slaughtered her pride is vivid, a longing for companionship drives her to take a chance. Will she be harmed by these men, condemned to the same fate as her pride-or will her destiny be other, indulging her life with privileges and a new hope?
