Serengeti National Park is perhaps
the most impressive wildlife
sanctuary in the world. These vast,
seemingly unending plains, are
inhabited during the migration by
enormous herds of wildebeest and
zebra. Large herds of wildebeest and
zebra concentrate at the Ndutu and
Salei plains or in the Ikoma/Grumetti
region, attracting the attention of
predators like lion, cheetah and
hyena. There is plentiful game
viewing in the Serengeti at any time
of year! Another interesting feature
of the Serengeti is the massive
granite kopjes, islands of rock
standing in a sea of grass, which
provide shelter to a great variety
of plants and animals from the
elusive leopard to the tiny dik dik.
These days’ activities are left up
to the guide’s suggestion in order
to take full advantage of the
movements of the wildlife. This
moves locations throughout the year
to maximize proximity to wildlife. .
