Serengeti National Park is Africa\u2019s most famous park due to the largest concentration of game on the continent and the migration of millions of wildebeest. The most impressive nature documentaries were shot in this beautiful park. \u2018Serengeti\u2019 comes from the Maasai language meaning \u2018endless plains\u2019 and this rightly describes it. With almost 15.000 km2 (6,000 sq miles), Serengeti National Park is the second largest park in Tanzania.<\/p>
Step into the land of the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras thunder across golden savannahs. Serengeti\u2019s iconic landscapes, home to the Big Five and spectacular sunsets, promise awe-inspiring moments.<\/p>
The annual wildebeest migration of more than a million wildebeest is probably Serengeti\u2019s main attraction. It is a truly impressive sight to see all those mammals thunder across the Serengeti plains, crossing rivers, in search of water and fresh grass. Mega herds on the move stretch up to 40Km long, covering a distance of some 1000 kilometers. A dangerous journey for the wildebeest, zebras and gazelles who need to outsmart their predators. Especially the Mara and Grumeti River is where giant crocodiles and fast flowing water awaits. The Great Migration is listed as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and is for lots of visitors the highlight of their journey. It is definitely one of the world\u2019s largest wildlife spectacles.<\/p>
You can witness the wildebeest migration anytime of the year, since the animals migrate in a circle between the Serengeti and\u00a0Masai\u00a0Mara (Kenya). The exact timing of the Serengeti wildebeest migration depends upon the rainfall patterns each year.
