Movie Info

In a land where archaeologists have traced human life back two million years and where the indigenous Masai people tend cattle and maintain their unique customs we are taken on an incredible journey into the wild Serengeti plains. Witness here a scene rarely seen by humans - The Great Migration. Follow more than two million wildebeests, zebras and antelope as they travel over 500 miles across the Serengeti. Filmed on location in Kenya and Tanzania, Africa: The Serengeti brings you spectacular vistas and dynamic aerials and features Africa's greatest predators - lions, crocodiles and cheetahs - in deadly pursuit of their migrating prey.

fascinating and exciting

Shadows on the Wall
I've enjoyed three safaris myself. Of course, a theater will never give you the actual experience of the Serengeti and film can never replace vision, but the images here are abundant with high quality animal life and rich with animal emotion.

Hollywood Report Card
While Africa is completely absorbing, it's best viewed as a primer to the subject matter. With its 40-minute run time, viewers are able to grasp only a surface understanding of the material.

The film is ... an impossibly lucky safari delivered with a soft touch of science and philosophy.
