SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK
The Serengeti is one of the world's most famous national parks. Home of the annual Great Migration and close to 15,000 sq km in size, the Serengeti is located in a high plateau between the Ngorongoro highlands and the Kenya/ Tanzania border, and extending almost to Lake Victoria to the west. Its name comes from the word 'siringet' used by the Maasai tribe, which means "the place where the land runs on forever".
Serengeti is the home of one of the most dramatic wildlife spectacles our planet has to offer – the migration of thousands of wildebeest and zebras in search of water and greener grasses.
Serengeti is filled with an abundance of wildlife, with an animal population of over 4 million including 3,000 lions, 1,600,000 wildebeest, 300,000 Thomson‘s and Grant‘s gazelle, 500,000 zebra, and over 400 species of birds.
