The serengeti national park is the second largest park in tanzania and is about the same size as hawaii. The southern part is dominated by grassland and is therefore good hunting ground for the cheetah, while to the north / western parts a more hilly tree savanna landscape dominates.
The serengeti migration is famous of up to one million wildebeest and two hundred thousand zebras, and ofcourse acompened by abudant varieties of predetors. This migration has become to be known as the "great wildebeest migration" and each year this natural spectacle is guaranteed. This in itself sets the serengeti aside as a unique place to watch and observe wildlife.

Serengeti national park
The whole day is devoted to you to observe the wildlife in the serengeti national park. The areas that you will visit depend upon the location of the herds.

They return slowly during the longer rain season in april, may and june. Fluctuations in precipitation can affect the animals location from year to year, however your guide will know the exact location of the animals and the best vantage spots.
