extent in this reserve. Virtually every type of wildlife can be
seen at the Mara. A spectacle worth seeing is the annual
migration of millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle from
Serengeti plains across the Tanzania border and the Mara River
to reach Maasai Mara grazing fields from late June. The dramatic
crossing of the river and the preying on the migrants by
predators can be viewed from early July to August. The reserve

the over 400 species of birds found here. The lake itself is a
soda lake on the floor of the rift valley. The sight of the at
times millions of flamingos is quite spectacular. From a

Lake Manyara’s famous tree-climbing lions are another reason to
pay this park a visit. The only kind of their species in the
world, they make the ancient mahogany and elegant acacias their
home during the rainy season, and are a well-known but rather
rare feature of the northern park. In addition to the lions, the
national park is also home to the largest concentration of
baboons anywhere in the world -- a fact that makes for
interesting game viewing of large families of the primates

Serengeti is easily Tanzania’s most famous national park, and
it’s also the largest, at 14,763 square kilometers of protected
area that borders Kenya’s Masai Mara Game ParkIt is the
Migration for which Serengeti is perhaps most famous. Over a
million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the
northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every
October and November, and then swirl west and north after the
long rains in April, May and June. So strong is the ancient
instinct to move that no drought, gorge or crocodile infested
river can hold them back. The Wildebeest travel through a
variety of parks, reserves and protected areas and through a
variety of habitat. Join us to explore the different forms of
vegetation and landscapes of the Serengeti ecosystem and meet
some of their most fascinating inhabitants.
