Serengeti National Park

Home to the Great Migration, Serengeti National Park easily makes its way into most bucket lists. This fascinating park presents all kinds of ecosystems which allows it to host a variety of plants, birds and animals. The sheer diversity makes it one of the most unique national parks in Africa. The yearly migration of wildebeest and zebra, followed by their predators, is unlike anything else in this world and has inspired people for generations. The parks name was given by the Maasai people, ‘serengit’, which means the land of endless plains. This is an accurate description, only small rocky outcrops, rivers, and few woodlands interrupt the short grasslands. There is an impressive array of animals taking up residence in the park Including the “Big 5” and is one of the largest and only migration patterns of its kind uninterrupted by human contact.
