Serengeti National Park

Probably the most famous wildlife area in the world. Serengeti’s pure numbers are staggering. Nearly 4 million animals reside within its ecosystem, including a million and a half wildebeest, a quarter million zebra, twice that many gazelle, and tens of thousands of the their predators (lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, jackal, crocodile, etc.). The Serengeti is also the site of one of the most magnificent events of the natural world - the migration of more than a million wildebeest in a cyclical process that occurs in different stages and areas throughout the year. Moreover, the vast park offers breathtaking scenery unto itself. Scattered throughout the southeastern short grass plains are kopjes, geologic wonders comprised of exposed gneiss and granite shaped by the wind and temperature fluctuations. Different environments emerge as you head deeper into the Serengeti, where you will discover riverine forests, acacia woodlands, hills, and open grassland that create a vast geographic mosaic.
