At the Omnimax"There is a place on Earth where it is still the morning of life, and the great herds run free." So begins the new Omnimax Theater film, which transports viewers on an East African safari. This is your chance to see the world as it was before man encroached
on the wilds—a time when massive herds of two million hoofed animals roamed
vast plains all over the world.
Directed by three-time Academy Award nominee George Casey and narrated by James Earl Jones, the $3.6 million film is a tribute to the wildebeest migration, and the land they occupy. This a land where archaeologists have traced human life back two million years, where the indigenous Masai people tend cattle and maintain their unique customs. Here, there are spectacular sunsets, volcanic eruptions, and animals of all shapes and colors, including elephants, hippos, monkeys, rhinos, flamingos, and giraffe. The sign at the entrance to the Serengeti National Park reads: "This is the world as it was in the beginning." Try out this quiz about life in the Serengeti, and then see the film to discover more fascinating facts. Click here for answers.
