Serengeti National Park
	• 14,700 sq km • about 1600 m (sea level) • Wildlife Migration spectacle • Elephants, Buffaloes, Rhinos • Lions, Leopards, Cheetah • Plains game • 500 bird species

The Serengeti covers 14,763 sq km and is Tanzania’s first and most famous National Park renown for its wealth of lion and leopard. The seemingly “ Endless Plains “ are pounded by over 6 million hooves of animals in their daily search for fresh pastures while as predators watch, pursue and feed on them, leaving the remains for hyenas and vultures.

Every May of the year, more than a million wild beasts, 200,900 zebras and 300,000 Thompson's gazelles undertake their long “ Cross border Safari “ to the Maasai Mara in Kenya where they enjoy the green pastures until October before they return to the Tanzanian plains. It is a survival for the fittest game as the 40 km long columns plunge through crocodile infested waters on the annual migration along ancient routes. Replenishing the species is a brief population explosion that produces more that 8,000 calves a day before the 1,000 km pilgrim starts again.

The vast reaches of the park help the Rhino fight an eminent extinction and provide a protected breeding ground for the cheetah. The park has over 500 species of birds and 100 different types of dung bugs.

To best time to see the predators is June to October while the annual Wildebeest migration take place between December and July.
