Surviving the Serengeti is a tale of courage and instinct, of hope and desperation. Set in East Africa, the story is told against the backdrop of one of the most beautiful places on Earth. It is a journey of growth and survival. Over nine months of the year, the Serengeti National Park is usually an area of peace and quiet where waterholes are places for all animals to take advantage of. However, at this time of year, carnivores have little to hunt—and yet they manage to survive and bring up young during the long dry season.
