The Serengeti plains are so vast that hiding millions of large animals is a breeze. Bouncing inside an open-topped Land Rover, our all-Pinoy team glasses the grass for wildlife. Aside from the occasional startled bird, few show themselves.
After an hour, our Rover rounds a bend. Suddenly, the animals are there. Hundreds of wildebeest and zebra graze serenely alongside dozens of gazelle and a handful of giant eland. “See the grass in this area? The animals have been feeding here for days,” points Ray. I try to imagine just how many animals it takes to mow down a horizon’s worth grass. Only then do I understand the scale of life in the Serengeti, home to the largest mammal migration on Earth – a 2,000-kilometer long journey from Tanzania to Kenya and back.
Perils galore await the herd en route to their grazing grounds – from hungry prides of lions and packs of hyenas, to the dreaded crossing of the Mara and Grumeti Rivers, which whittles down tens of thousands of the weakest, sickest, and unluckiest animals. Over 300,000 grazers die each year – but enough survive to continue the great trek back to Tanzania and the Serengeti plains each October, where the age-old cycle shall begin anew. Simba, is the Swahili word for lion.
