Serengeti National Park | African wildlife animals

The Great Wildebeest Migration safari is a Tanzania safari where you will see wildebeest in a moving circular migration across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. Probably the major draw of the Serengeti is the yearly migration of more than a million wildebeest. The sight of so many creatures running over the Serengeti plains and across rivers in search of water and new grass is quite remarkable.

Mega herds may extend up to 40 kilometers in length while traveling, covering about 1000 kilometers. Wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles must outwit their predators on a perilous voyage. The Mara and Grumeti Rivers, in particular, are home to enormous crocodiles and swiftly moving water. Many tourists consider the Great Migration to be the highlight of their trip, and it is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Unquestionably, it ranks among the biggest wildlife shows in the world.

Since the wildebeest move in a loop between the Serengeti and Masai Mara, you may see them at any time of the year (Kenya). The timing of the Serengeti wildebeest migration is determined by the annual rainfall patterns. We can create a reasonably accurate prognosis because of our knowledgeable Tanzania Specialist guides.

In Serengeti National Park, more beauty may be seen than just the annual migration of wildebeests. Unlike somewhere else in Africa, you may witness a wide array of scenery and species. More than 4,000 lions, 1,000 leopards, 225 cheetahs, and 3,500 hyenas live on the unending plains. Because there are so many wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and buffaloes, it is not surprising that there are so many predators.

Serengeti National Park is one of the finest areas to watch the Tanzania Big 5 animals, which include the rhinoceros, buffalo, elephant, lion, and leopard. In this magnificent park, you may find almost all the well-known African wildlife. Rare animal species, including the pangolin, East African oryx, rhino, and wild dog, are included in Serengeti National Park.

The Serengeti National Park has a variety of intriguing scenery, including savannahs with acacia trees and wide meadows, as well as towering highlands, lakes, and wetlands. Every location is distinct and has its own feel. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the diversity of flora and fauna it supports and the natural beauty of its surroundings. Your soul is undoubtedly touched by this area. Do you like to include a visit to Serengeti National Park in your plans?
