Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti National Park is a large national park in Serengeti area, Tanzania. It covers an area of 14,763 km².

It is most famous for its annual migration of over one and a half million white bearded (or brindled) wildebeest and 250,000 zebra.

Serengeti National Park is widely regarded as the best wildlife reserve in Africa due to its density of predators and prey.

As well as the migration of ungulates, the park is well known for its healthy stock of other resident wildlife, particularly the “Big Five”, named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters (lion, elephant, leopard, rhino and buffalo).

The park also supports many further species, including cheetah, Thomson’s and Grant’s gazelle, topi, eland, waterbuck, hyena, baboon, impala, African wild dog and giraffe.

The park also boasts about 500 bird species, including ostrich, secretary bird, Kori bustard, crowned crane, marabou stork, martial eagle, lovebirds and many species of vultures.
