Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
Today’s drive takes you to the famous Serengeti National Park, home of the great wildebeest migration. This exciting drive up the highlands provides a spectacular bird’s-eye view of the Ngorongoro Crater. As you crest the hillside, as far as the eyes can see, the vast expanse of the 6,900 sq km (18,000 sq mi) Serengeti is spread out before you.
Serengeti, defined as “endless plains” in Kiswahili, is inhabited by more than 2 million large mammals, including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebra, and Thomson's gazelle. Large predators, including lion, cheetah, and hyena, are drawn to the area by the abundance of prey that migrates throughout the park. Smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared fox, mongoose, honey badger, jackals, monkey, baboon, and African hare, with nearly 500 bird species, also inhabit the area.
