Becoming a locavore—someone who prefers to find and eat local foods—is a growing and, in most cases, healthy trend in the United States. Locavores typically forage for berries, fruits, mushrooms and nuts; and some take up hunting, deciding they prefer to eat free-range, organically grown meat.

In the wildlife drama that is a Botswana safari, this looked like a virtual demolition zone. We had just stepped out of our kayaks, scouting for an optimal place to camp. Looking around, we realized that the island had been completely trampled.

Every year the endless plains of the Serengeti host the migrations of vast herds of wildebeest and zebras. As these animals seek out new grass that grows in new places following seasonal rains, lions and cheetahs stalk behind them, waiting to pick off weak members of the herds.
