Serengeti National Park

World-famous for its annual migration of its vast 2 million strong wildebeest herds, the Serengeti is also renowned for its wealth of leopard and lion. The vast reaches of the park are a hiding place for the endangered black rhino and provide a protected breeding ground for the vulnerable cheetah, alongside the Serengeti’s thousands of other diverse species, which include 500 bird species and 100 different types of dung beetle. The scene of countless animals spread over the plains extending to the horizon dotted with the occasional flat-topped acacia is unforgettable, and the sheer volume of numbers is hard to find elsewhere on the continent. It is on the plains of the Serengeti that you are most likely to witness a kill. By the very nature of the plains the visibility is excellent for game viewing.
