Serengeti National Park
The magnificent country of Tanzania has some of Africa’s finest natural spectacles on display - rugged terrains, lush, fertile lands, and amazing scenery. An African country of note, Tanzania produces endless thrills of excitement and adventure for those visiting her shores with its top attractions including the majestic Kilimanjaro Mountains and the holiday paradise of the Zanzibar Archipelago.
Tanzania’s extraordinary beauty is none more apparent that at the iconic Serengeti National Park – Tanzania’s most popular nature reserve, which translated from Maasai, literally means ‘extended plains’. The Serengeti is the world’s oldest eco-system with its essential features of fauna, climate, and vegetation barely changing in the last million years, adding to its incredible scientific value. Its most famous attraction would undoubtedly be the Great Migration, which sees millions of wildebeest and large numbers of zebra and other animals make the great trek south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains between October and November, and then west and north after the rains of April, May, and June.
Each year visitors flock to the Serengeti National Park to witness this astounding age-old tradition with many safari camps and other resorts situated in the park to help tourists capture this magical moment from the best vantage points. The Serengeti National Park is an incredible wildlife and bird sanctuary and really typifies the prominence of nature on the African continent. Visitors to the park can look forward to viewing a wide array of animals and over 500 species of birds. Other popular activities to do at the Serengeti include hot air balloon rides and safari walks.
