Serengeti National Park

GSerengeti National Park is know to the Maasai people as endless plains.  The covers 14,700 sq. km. and is Tanzania's most famous national park.  It stetches for as far as the eye can see, dotted with granite kopyes (volcanic rock), acacia trees and is home to tens of thousands of hoofed animals in search of fresh grass.  The wildebeest are over one million and are scattered over the southern  section of the Serengeti during the rainy season between December and May.  They continue to follow the green grass forming large herds migrating north.  The female wildebeest give birth in February, where there could be up to 800 calves born per day and 40% of these calves will die before they are 4 months old.  

The Serengeti is also famous for its lions, cheetahs, zebras, giraffe, Thomson and Grant gazelles, elands, impalas and warthogs.

You will be impressed by the vastness and the magnificence of nature's rhythms on your drive through the Serengeti.
