This stunning and varied national park is not only huge, it is also very beautiful. It is located in north western Tanzania. Many wonders and splendors occupy Tanzania and the Serengeti helps put that into perspective. Why don’t we have a look at the most famous points of the Serengeti and also some of the not so well-known ones.

The word Serengeti is actually derived from the Maasai language meaning “endless plains”. The Maasai were a very strong and respected people that populated the Serengeti and when Europeans first visited these lands, they left the animals alone in the Serengeti to avoid aggravating the local people. The well named Serengeti is well suited to its literal meaning, because it spans an area of around thirty thousand kilometres squared.

The main event that the Serengeti is famous for is the Circular Migration. From July to early October is the time span in which this Circular migration travels. Many different herbivores numbering at about two million will travel across the Serengeti and over the Mara river catching the rains they need to survive. They continue up into the Masai Mara reserve, a popular destination for Kenya holidays and safaris.

The Serengeti also has its very own active volcano called Ol Doinyo Lengai. This Volcano still erupts spewing up and up massive clouds of ash that solidifies on the ground and prevents plant growth`. You can find 550 Avifauna in the Serengeti, also called bird species.

If you are interested in going on a safari, this is one of the places that should be at the top of your list. If you make in at around August to September you will be in the peak season to see the Circular Migration in action.

So why don’t you leave home and embark on an adventure on Tanzania holidays or Zambia holidays, you won’t be at all disappointed.
