Serengeti National Park established in 1951 lies in a high plateau between the Ngorongoro highlands and the Kenyan border and extends nearly all the way to Lake Victoria in the west. The landscape of the park, with its vast seas of open plain and low vegetation is ideal for game viewing.
In the Maasai language “Serengeti” means "endless plains", a fitting name for this 14,763 km² expanse of grassland and forests. Within the boundaries of Serengeti National Park are more than three million mammals.
Among the mammals are huge herds of Zebra and wild beast that begin their spectacular migration in May or early June. In their wake follow an impressive array of carnivorous predators such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and the jackal. Bat eared fox, honey badger, giraffe, hippo, genet, caracal, civet, hyrax, hippo, mongoose, ostrich, baboons, buffalo, Thompson’s gazelle, vervet monkeys and some 20 types of antelopes including the oribi, dik dik, kudu and eland are also often seen in the park.
The profusion of birdlife in the park is spectacular with over 500 species so far recorded. Among the birds recorded are the long legged secretary birds, bustards, cranes, herons, storks and vultures.
