episode description
Africa’s Serengeti has often been seen as a present day Garden of Eden, the variety of animals, the diversity of terrain, and one animal that dominates them all. The African – or Savanna Elephant. While it shares it home with giraffes, zebras, lions and many more, it is the Elephant who shapes this land. Eating tonnes of foliage every day, and then distributing seeds via its dung (a favourite of the dung beetle) the elephant is planting as it goes, they are the landscapers of Africa. The fertility of this land is what has lead to herds of elephants that can number up to one hundred. Like all elephants, the African Elephant herd is lead by a matriarch, and it is not uncommon to see four generations of these towering graceful giants walking side by side. So come with us as we explore the vast open plains and waterways that make this area so unique and timeless... and learn what it takes to live as a giant.
