The following information is taken from our history section in the dossier: Serengeti National Park
Serengeti, which sprawls across 14,763 sq km (5757 sq mi), is Tanzania’s largest and most famous national park. The chief herbivore of Serengeti is the wildebeest of which there are up to two million. The amazing annual migration of wildebeest herds is one of the biggest attractions of the Serengeti. It begins at the Serengeti National Park near the Kenyan border, when huge herds of Wildebeests head for greener pastures in Kenya. Starting in April each year, these animals migrate across the Serengeti's southern plains accompanied by Zebras, Antelopes, Gazelles, Lions and tourists. The park is also famous for its Lions, which can be tracked due to the fact that many have collars fitted with transmitters, as well as Cheetah and large herds of Giraffe. |
