Serengeti

To describe the Serengeti as vast is an understatement. Serengeti is not only vast but breathtakingly beautiful. It truly is one of Africa’s most captivating safari areas. The sheer amount of animals here is amazing: estimates suggest up to about two million wildebeest, plus perhaps half a million zebra, hundreds of thousands of Thompson’s gazelle, and tens of thousands of impala, Grant’s gazelle, topi, hartebeest, eland and other antelope all move in perfect unison following the rains and green grass – all hunted by the predators for which these plains are famous.

Some of this game resides permanently in ‘home’ areas, which are great for safaris all year round. But many of the wildebeest and zebra take part in the migration – an amazing spectacle that’s one of the greatest wildlife shows on earth. It’s an annual event that truly needs to be experienced once in a person’s lifetime. A true bucket list check mark.
