Tarangire to Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti boasts vast, uninterrupted plains covered with savannah grasslands, providing ample feeding grounds year-round for wildebeest, antelope species, and zebras. This diverse habitat creates an ideal hunting terrain for predators such as cheetahs, lions, hyenas, and other wild cats, who prey on the herbivores that roam the area. Scattered across the landscape are acacia trees and clusters of vegetation known as Kopjes. These formations serve as strategic vantage points for predators to observe their prey and provide a habitat for reptiles like lizards and pythons, enhancing the region's ecological richness.
