Serengeti National Park is the second largest after Ruaha National Park, but the most famous park in the Northern circuit owing to the fact that it is the home to the wildebeest migration which sees more than a million herds of wildebeests accompanied by more than 400,000 Thomson’s gazelles, 300,000 zebras, and about 12,000 elands ponder the endless plains crossing ultimately to the Masai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya in search for fresh grass and water.

This results in a yearly world-famous animal spectacle that sees the animals dare the dangerously Nile crocodile-infested Mara River a phenomenon often referred to as ‘The Great Wildebeests Migration’.

Other resident animals in their thousands roam the Serengeti all year round and this is not all. This program takes you to the equally celebrated wildlife area in the world and a UNESCO world heritage Center;
