The endless plains as described by the Masai are home a vast number of wild life. They include the endangered black Rhinos and many others. The plains are mostly savanna lands but have a mixture of woodlands and thickets.
The Serengeti has the largest number of herbivores in the region. This is probably due to the fact that it has very large plains that allows the animals to graze very well.
