Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park Overview

Serengeti National Park is one of the most famous wildlife parks in the world, known for its amazing natural beauty and the huge number of animals. Established in 1952, the park is in Tanzania and is famous for the great migration of wildebeest and zebras, one of the most spectacular wildlife events on Earth. It also has a lot of lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and various birds.

The park covers 5,700 square miles (14,763 square kilometers), making it larger than Connecticut, with only a few hundred vehicles inside at any time. It’s divided into three main sections:

  • The southern/central part, known as Seronera Valley, is a classic savannah with endless plains and acacia trees.
  • The western corridor, marked by the Grumeti River, has more forests and dense bush.
  • The northern part, Lobo, is the least visited and connects with Kenya’s Masai Mara Reserve.

Serengeti’s ecosystem is very old, with climate, vegetation, and wildlife barely changing over a million years. Early humans were in Olduvai Gorge about two million years ago. The famous migration happens every year when over a million wildebeest and 200,000 zebras travel from the northern hills to the southern plains and then move west and north again. They face challenges like droughts and crocodile-infested rivers but keep moving due to their strong migration instinct.
