Highlights
Wildlife
The vast Serengeti National Park covers an area of nearly 13,000 square kilometres and is home to resident populations of lion, cheetah, giraffe and elephant. Rhinoceros, zebra and gazelles can also be seen grazing on the open plains, whilst hippopotamus wallow in the rivers. With 500 recorded bird species, this is truly a wildlife paradise. With the annual wildebeest and zebra migration passing through the park, it’s no wonder the Serengeti National Park is on most people’s bucket list.
The Great Migration
One of the most spectacular wildlife experiences in the world can be seen in the Serengeti National Park, when over two-million wildebeest and half-a-million zebra migrate across the plains, in search of nutritious grass shoots, following the annual rains. It’s hard to comprehend the sheer volume of animals until you witness first-hand the vast herds as far as the eye can see.
Walking Safaris
Accompanied by an experienced guide and armed ranger, a walking safari is a great way to gain a greater insight into the eco-systems of the Serengeti. Learn how to identify the tracks of animals , as well as which plants are used for medicinal purposes by the Maasai, as you journey on foot.
