Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti National Park covers 14,763 sq. km of vast open plains that stretch across the area between the Kenyan border and the outskirts of Lake Victoria. It has an abundance of wildlife with the numbers been estimated at well over 3 million.

In May or early June, the annual migration of millions of wildebeest takes place, where they search for water and food as the season changes. This is a magical site to behold and a major drawing point for tourists who visit the Serengeti during this period.

In addition to the Wildebeest, the Serengeti National Park holds many types of large antelopes, including zebra, impala, eland, klipspringer, dik dik, and several different kinds of buck.
