The Museum is a testament to the long journey that humanity has made from its humble roots in East Africa to its current state as the dominant species on earth.

Its landscape varies from open grass plains in the south, savanna with scattered acacia trees in the center, hilly, wooded grassland in the north, to extensive woodland and black clay plains to the west.

The marshes and lakes support various bird life, and the resident lion prides. Cheetahs are abundant in the plains, and the wooded ridges are always worth a look.
