Review Almost like Carmen Sandiego, except in the bush of the Serengeti, where nature is the only mystery. This bold adventure has enough cool action video clips and the music and sounds to make you feel you're inside a PBS nature documentary. While getting lost isn't out of the question, the virtual map helps keep youngsters on the paths where animals lurk and hide. Completing the journal entries for each location makes for top-notch think-on-your-own learning. Plus lots of animal facts and figuring make it. A 1999 Parents' Choice Silver Honor Winner.
