Over this spectacular setting wander the last of theearth’s great concentrations of plains game — the wildebeest and zebra herds, graceful gazelles, elephants, rhinos, buffaloes, stately giraffes and the predators who live on them, the lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas. Many rare species roam in this great natural wilderness, clinging to a tenuous existence.
This ancient land has also recently yielded up invaluable secrets about the origin of mankind itself. Tectonic movements in the earth’s plates have revealed rich treasures of fossil remains, which have helped scientists date the emergence of earliest man.
