The Serengeti has a special drum - and it’s made of stone! Gong Rock isn’t just another boulder on the plains. Hit it with a stone and it rings out like a giant gong, its metallic ringing sound travelling for miles across the grasslands. Long before radios or mobile phones, the Maasai turned this rock into a natural communication system, sending signals between bomas and herds across the endless Serengeti.
