Serengeti National Park is undoubtedly the best-known
wildlife sanctuary
in the world, unequalled for its natural beauty and scientific value, it has
the greatest concentration of plains game in Africa
The
Serengeti National Park in Tanzania was established in 1952. It is home to the
greatest wildlife spectacle on earth - the great migration of wildebeest and
zebra. The resident population of lion, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, and birds
is also impressive. There’s a wide variety of accommodation available, from
luxury lodges to mobile camps. The park covers 5,700 sq miles, (14,763 sq km),
it’s larger than Connecticut, with at most a couple hundred vehicles driving around.
The
Park can be divided into 3 sections. The popular southern/central part
(Seronera Valley), is what the Maasai called the “Serengeti”, the land of
endless plains. Its classic savannah dotted with acacias and filled with
wildlife. The western corridor is marked by the Grumeti River, and has more
forests and dense bush. The north, Lobo area, meets up with Kenya’s Masai Mara
Reserve, is the least visited section.
Two
World Heritage Sites and two Biosphere Reserves have been established within
the 30,000 km² region. It’s unique ecosystem has inspired writers from Ernest
Hemingway to Peter Mattheissen, filmmakers like Hugo von Lawick and Alan Root
as well as numerous photographers and scientists - many of which have put their
works at our disposal to create this website.
The
Serengeti ecosystem is one of the oldest on earth. The essential features of
climate, vegetation and fauna have barely changed in the past million years.
Early man himself made an appearance in Olduvai Gorge about two million years
ago. Some patterns of life, death, adaptation and migration are as old as the
hills themselves.
It
is the migration for which Serengeti is perhaps most famous. Over a million
wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the
southern plains for the short rains every October and November, and then swirl
west and north after the long rains in April, May and June. So strong is the
ancient instinct to move that no drought, gorge or crocodile infested river can
hold them back.
The
Wildebeest travel through a variety of parks, reserves and protected areas and
through a variety of habitat. Join us to explore the different forms of
vegetation and landscapes of the Serengeti ecosystem and meet some of their
most fascinating inhabitants.
