How about this one? What’s your guess?

Betcha can’t guess….

And how about this one?

Serengeti Plain Location: Northern Tanzania to southwestern Kenya. Area: 30,000 sq. km Hosts the largest mammal migration in the world (one of the natural wonders of the world). Inspiration for the movie The Lion King
