More Serengeti

The Serengeti is a vast theatre, its distant limits formed by clouds meeting the horizon. Serengeti means ‘endless plain’ in Maasai.

At the time that we visit, the annual wildebeest migration is in progress. At the start of the summer the wildebeest wander north to the forests, returning in the autumn after the grassy plains have been replenished. Wildebeest means 'wild beast' in Dutch.

Dutch doesn’t seem like a very hard language to me.
