SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK GUIDEThe Serengeti National Park is a declared World Heritage Site and the Serengeti ecosystem is probably one of the oldest on earth. The word “Serengeti” is derived from the Masai word 'siringet' which means 'endless plains'. This is a fitting description of the dry and tree-less central plains of the Serengeti National Park, which continues all the way into the western and northern Ngorongoro Conservation Area. These vast plains of the Serengeti National Park comprise 1.5 million ha of savannah. It is on these plains that one of the many splendors of Serengeti National Park manifests itself during the rainy season. The plains are then filled by millions of wildebeest, dispersed in all directions, with pockets of other plains game such as zebra and gazelles, and the always present predators and scavengers not to far behind. It has been estimated that there are over 1.3 million wildebeest, 500,000 zebra and 3,000 lions in the Serengeti National Park. Towards the end of the rainy season in the Serengeti National Park, when water and grass become scarce in the open plains, the wildebeest in a search for greener pastures, move northwest in long lines, with one wildebeest galloping after another. Numerous other antelopes and some of the ever-prowling predators follow in their footsteps. This great migration of wildebeests and zebras is probably the single most impressive sight of the Serengeti National Park, although the endless plains, fantastic clouds, and kaleidoscope of natural colours are pretty hard to beat.
