Serengeti national park
Serengeti national park
Serengeti is best known for the Great Migration, an annual movement of over 1.5 million wildebeest, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles. This continuous cycle is driven by seasonal rains and the search for fresh grazing and water. The migration is not a single event but a year round journey, with calving taking place in the southern plains between January and March, and perilous river crossings occurring in the western and northern regions between June and October. Predators such as lions, cheetahs, leopards, and crocodiles closely follow this movement, creating dramatic scenes of survival and predation.
