The Serengeti is undoubtedly the greatest national park in Tanzania, if not the whole of Africa. It is such a vast and varied eco-system, with such a wealth of wildlife and landscape that it is somewhere that people return to time and time again.

 

Throughout the winter months of December to March (the best time to come), many of the animals are concentrated in the park's southern regions, near Ngorongoro. During the spring months of May or June, the vast herds of wildebeest and zebra start to head west in search of water, beginning a circuitous migration that takes some of them to shores of Lake Victoria, and others to northern areas and to Kenya's Maasai Mara park just across the border.

 

Virtually every African game animal can be seen in the Serengeti; however, because the animals are more dispersed between July and November visitors should give themselves sufficient time to track them down
