The Serengeti National Park is Tanzania's Largest and most famous National Park. The word Serengeti is derived from the Masaai word "Siringet" meaning "Endless Plain" .The Park covers 14,763 km² of grassland plains and savannah as well as riverine forest and woodlands.
The Serengeti has over 2 million Wildebeest, half a million Thomson's gazelle, and a quarter of a million zebra, giraffe, eland, topi, kongoni, impala and other antelope. The Serengeti is also home to lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena. In total there are 35 species of animals and 500 species of birds.
Perhaps the biggest attraction to the Serengeti is the Wildebeest Migration. A natural phenomenon like no other. It begins in the Serengeti National Park near the Kenyan border, when huge herds of wildebeests head for the greener grazing grounds of Kenya. The Migration starts in April each year. The herbivores of the Serengeti migrate across the southern plains, closely followed by the predators including large prides of lions.
No visit to Tanzania is complete without visiting this amazing park. The Serengeti home of the Wildebeest Migration is one of Africa's true great parks.
