Serengeti
This national park is famous thanks to Gzimek and the documentary "The Serengeti Must Not Die." The Serengeti is one of the most famous and fascinating wilderness regions in the world. It covers an area of approximately 30,000 square kilometers in Tanzania and is famous for its breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife, and the annual wildebeest migration. The Serengeti is home to an impressive variety of wildlife, including lions, leopards, elephants, and buffalo, among countless other species. Its endless plains, acacia forests, rivers, and cliffs provide a diverse backdrop for safaris and wildlife viewing. The Serengeti is not only a paradise for animal lovers and adventurers, but also a UNESCO World Heritage Site that plays an important role in the conservation of East Africa's biodiversity and ecosystem. It offers visitors the opportunity to experience Africa's untouched wilderness and enjoy unforgettable safari experiences.
The Serengeti is most famous for the world's largest wildebeest migration. This is one of the most impressive natural spectacles on earth. Every year, millions of wildebeest, accompanied by tens of thousands of zebras and gazelles, embark on an epic migration across the endless plains of the Serengeti in Tanzania. This migration is characterized by a search for fresh grass and water and takes the herds on a round trip of over 1,000 kilometers through the Serengeti ecosystem and into the neighboring Masai Mara in Kenya. The wildebeest migration is an awe-inspiring spectacle characterized by dramatic scenes as the huge herds cross rivers, predators lurk, and the landscape transforms into one endless movement. This annual event is not only a spectacle for animal lovers and photographers, but also an important ecological phenomenon that supports the cycle of life in the Serengeti and plays a key role in the region's ecosystem.
Wake up every day to the morning song of the birds (also known as the birdwatch). Numerous unforgettable animal encounters, both large and small, await you. While large mammals like elephants, lions, giraffes, and hippos are certainly among the highlights of a safari, don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for smaller animals like lizards and birds.
