Arguably the best known wildlife sanctuary in the world “Serengeti” which means “endless plains” in the Maasai language, is home to an unparalleled smorgasbord of wildlife, flora and fauna, more than three million mammals can be found at one time in the Serengeti.
Wilderbeasts in the Serengeti national park
The most spectacular sight in the Serengeti is the Wildebeest migration. Imagine a 1,000 km (600 mile) frenzied migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra, each one driven by an ancient instinct to migrate north in search of fresh pastures and to mate.
Envision a replenishing of the species in a brief population explosion of 8,000 calves daily, imagine over 100,000 animals scrambling to cross a crocodile infested river, its banks lined with predators primed for the hunt, imagine the carnage and the fight for survival. A must see sight, the Serengeti migration elucidates like no other spectacle, the Darwinian theory of Survival of the fittest. A novel way of seeing the Serengeti, from the air, by hot air balloon, is an opportunity not to be missed.http://www.foreign.go.tz/tourism/serengeti-national-park
