More About Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park is Tanzania's oldest and most famous park, renowned for its annual wildebeest migration. The park, covering a vast 15,000 sq km (5,790 sq miles), was named a World Heritage Site in 1978.

The park's Masai name, Serenget, means "Endless Plains" and it's these plains that support the large numbers of mammals that populate Serengeti. The open landscape also make it easier for those on safari to see the wildlife than is the case in more densely wooded game parks.

Serengeti is known for the large numbers of predators, including lion, cheetah, and hyena that prey on the herds of zebra, Thomson's and Grant's gazelle, wildebeest, impala and other antelope, particularly during the annual migration when a million or more wildebeest plus thousands of zebra and gazelle move across the plains in search of better grazing.

Accommodation in Serengeti ranges from exclusive luxury safari lodges like Singita Sasakwa in the Grumeti Reserve, Klein's Camp with its panoramic views, and Grumeti Tented Camp, to mobile tented camps that follow the migration, to the more affordable and popular Seronera Wildlife Lodge in the middle of the park. There are also campsites in Serengeti but facilities at these are extremely basic.

Camera Gear: Our Serengeti safari images were taken using Canon digital SLR cameras (Canon EOS 450D and Canon EOS 1D MkII), plus Canon lenses, including the Canon EF 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM telephoto zoom, Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM telephoto lens, and Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS standard zoom lens.
