NONFICTION ECOLOGY & WILDLIFE • PENGUIN "WHERE IS...?" SERIES

Part of Penguin’s acclaimed Where Is...? series, Where Is the Serengeti? transports young readers across the breathtaking savannas of East Africa to witness one of the most astonishing wildlife spectacles on the planet.

For those who have never encountered a wildebeest, this engaging book dives straight into the heart of the annual Great Migration.

Beyond the wildebeest, the book introduces readers to the rich web of life in the Serengeti, exploring the diverse animals and indigenous peoples who coexist across this magnificent landscape.
