Serengeti Safari
Go on a Serengeti Safari and experience a
soul-stirring feeling of space. Serengeti comes
from the Masai word 'Siringit' meaning 'the
place where the land runs on forever' and refers
to the flat grassy plains which make up about a
third of the park. It is these grasslands and
savannahs that ensure that the area is
jam-packed full of game.
There are animals here at any time of year, but
from May to October, the area teems with life,
including wildebeest, zebra, impala, warthogs,
topi, gazelles and hyena. Lion, leopard, cheetah
and caracal can be more easily spotted in the
Kopjes, granite inselbergs scattered across the
landscape.
The Serengeti is well known for the wildebeest
migration, when every year two million animals
move clockwise around this 14,763 sq km
ecosystem in search of grazing and water. The
predators follow the wildebeest and zebra
closely and a Serengeti Safari is an ideal
opportunity to view lions and other big cats.
Pin pointing and predicting the location of the
wildebeest migration is challenging - but with a
healthy resident population of animals, safari
and game viewing within the Serengeti Game
Reserve is great all year round.
