Serengeti is easily Tanzania’s most famous national
park, and it’s also the largest, at 14,763 square
kilometers of protected area that borders Kenya’s
Masai Mara Game Park. It is the Migration for which
Serengeti is perhaps most famous. Over a million
wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from
the northern hills to the southern plains for the
short rains every October and November, and then
swirl west and north after the long rains in April,
May and June. So strong is the ancient instinct to
move that no drought, gorge or crocodile infested
river can hold them back. The Wildebeest travel
through a variety of parks, reserves and protected
areas and through a variety of habitat. Join us to
explore the different forms of vegetation and
landscapes of the Serengeti ecosystem and meet some
of their most fascinating inhabitants.
