The Serengeti offers some of the best Safaris, it has many wonders as well

This stunning and varied national park is not only huge, it is also very beautiful. This land is located up in the north west section of Tanzania. This place has so much for us to admire. 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. This Migration of the land mamals, occurs once every year from July to October. Going in search of the rains that travel up through the Serengeti, 2 million herbivores will cross through the Mara River. 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`. Tanzania is also famous for its 550 or so Avifauna, or its 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 can try and time your safari to be between July and October you will arrive right in the middle of the Circular Migration.

 

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.
