The Serengeti National Park, meaning “endless plains” in the Maasai language, is undoubtedly one of the world’s most celebrated wilderness areas and is an ongoing source of inspiration to writers, filmmakers, and photographers. It is Tanzania’s oldest game reserve, renowned for the part it plays in the annual Great Migration when an estimated three million antelope – mostly wildebeest – migrate to Kenya’s Maasai Mara Game Reserve. This epic, seasonal journey is a deeply moving experience and a wonderful photographic subject.
