Serengeti
National Park Overview.
The Serengeti National Park
is one of the most celebrated wildlife reserves in the
world. This phenomenal National Park, created to
preserve the path of the world's largest intact
migration circuit, covers nearly 15,000 sq kms.
SERENGETI WILDLIFE
This land is justifiably famous for its huge
concentrations of wildlife, especially the big cats, as
well as being the stomping ground of the Great
Migration, a massive accumulation of 1.5 million
wildebeest, 200,000 zebras and 350,000 gazelles
stretching their legs over 1,200 miles in an annual race
to find enough water and green grass for their survival.
THE HEART OF SERENGETI - SERONERA VALLEY:
The greatest proportion of visitors enter the Serengeti
through its Southern entrance, the Naabi Hill Gate,
which opens onto the Seronera Valley; a vibrant wildlife
area at the heart of the Serengeti. This is the region
in which the migration commonly stop to calve in march
each year, however the Seronera region is characterized
by mainly wide open grassy plains and rock kopjes,
patched together within a network of rivers that ensure
year-round water supplies and keep this region
incredibly rich in wildlife throughout the year.
WESTERN CORRIDOR:
This follows the path of the Grumeti River up towards
Lake Victoria. This region provides superb wildlife
viewing action when the migration crosses the crocodile
infested waters of the Grumeti; at this point camps such
as the CCA Grumeti River or Kirawira come into their
own.
THE NORTHERN REACHES:
The Northern reaches of the Serengeti remain
fantastically quiet and unvisited, due to their relative
inaccessibility. Previously inaccessible swathes of
National Park at Wogakuria, close to the Masai Mara
border, have been opened up by flying safari options
staying at superb permanent tented camps such as Sayari.
