Development and the Serengeti

The latest business and finance news from around the world, on the 大象传媒.

We visit one of the richest wildlife locations on earth, the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.

Elsewhere in East Africa we hear about a huge railway project to link the Kenyan port of Mombasa to South Sudan, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Uganda. And how tongue piercings could soon help paralysed people to operate wheelchairs and complete simple tasks.
