SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK, TANZANIA

The Serengeti National Park boasts 35 species of plains-dwelling mammals, including wildebeest and zebra which feature in the spectacular Great Migration, and also hosts an extensive variety of bird life. A Serengeti safari and being in the Serengeti at the height of the Migration is a never-to-be-forgotten experience.

Two World Heritage Sites and two Biosphere Reserves have been established within the Serengeti region. The Serengeti’s unique ecosystem has inspired writers, filmmakers and numerous photographers and scientists. Its ecosystem is one of the oldest on earth with the features of climate, vegetation and fauna barely changing in the past million years.

It is also famous for its rocky outcrops or kopjes and its lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena sightings. The Park features a number of seasonal rivers where Africa’s largest crocodiles are to be found. Birdlife in the Serengeti is prolific, with Yellow throated sandgrouse, ostrich, Secretary bird, Crowned plover and Kori bustard are most frequently seen.
