The Serengeti National Park.—The Park boundaries have at last been agreed. For some time it seemed that the whole park was in jeopardy except the Ngorongoro Craters and the adjacent highlands; all the rest it was suggested should be called a “National Reserve” in which settlement by man would be allowed. This proposal, made to include in the Park only those areas to which no one whatever would take exception, spelt its doom. Another proposal, made in order to give the Wasakuma tribe the maximum possible area for expansion in the southwest, was for the boundary of the Park to run from Victoria Nyanza along some sixty miles of the Mbalageti River, and then turn southwards. This would have been equally fatal as it is just this stretch of the river which is essential to the animals in the plains, when they migrate westwards in the dry season.
