On the plains of Africa, herds of zebra and wildebeest still travel on annual migrations. The harsh environment makes life difficult for the human residents of the savanna. Among the people who have made this region their home are the Maasai, the Kikiyu, and the Dorobo, who all have different cultures. Some have been hunter-gatherers or farmers, while others lived the life of nomads, never staying in one place very long. In this first program of the National Geographic series, Africa, Part 1: Savanna , two women, one a city dweller, the other a rural worker, make decisions regarding their homeland.
