The Serengeti offers arguably the most dazzling game viewing in Africa

The Serengeti

There is no appetite big enough to devour 15,000 new-borns on peak days in the Southern Serengeti!
Each year in February, a few months before the start of the exodus north, hundreds of thousands of calves are born in a couple of weeks. Many of them are almost immediately chased by eagerly waiting cheetahs

Apart from the migrating wildebeest, zebra and gazelle, the Serengeti offers arguably the most dazzling game viewing in Africa. Approximately 3,800 lions, 350 cheetahs 7,500 spotted hyenas, over 12,000 giraffes and 11,000 elephants roam the savannah. The cat-sized hyrax is often spotted at the kopjes. And all three African jackal can be seen, just as the elusive serval cat, aardwolf and rhino.

The Serengeti National park is African Paradise and one of the seven natural wonders of The Africa and World. World heritage site, Man and Biosphere Reserve. The park lives up to its ancient Maasai name ‘Siringet’, meaning ‘endless open plains
