SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK - (14,763Sq Km):
The Serengeti is Tanzania and the world's largest national park. Its vast plains contain several million hoofed mammals as well as Lions, Wild dogs, Leopards, Cheetah, Rhino, Buffalos and Elephants. Hippos, Crocodiles, wading birds and African fish eagles can be found in and around lush rivers and swamps.
The main attraction of the Serengeti is the annual wildebeest migration. During the wet season between March and May, the wildebeest are scattered over the southern plains, but when the rains end, the animals form massive herds and move north by the thousands in search of fresh grass.
At the end of August, they cross the Mara River into the Masaai Mara National Reserve in Kenya . The river crossing is a mad rush, during which hundreds of animals are drowned, trampled or eaten by Crocodiles who calmly wait for there pray to arrive, perfectly timing for a whole season harvest. This is the wildest dramatic scenarios to be witnessed in 'Siringet' as it's known to the Masaais.
In November, they move to the south again in time to give birth at the start of the rainy season in the Siringet. |
