In May or early June, huge herds of wildebeest, gazelle, and zebra begin their migration followed by the predator lion, cheetah and wild dogs while vultures circle overhead. Other common species include the hippo, giraffe, eland, impala, baboon, and monkeys. The park is also famous for its 400 species of birds- both migrant and resident. Divided into four corridors (north, south, east and west) due to its sheer size, the Serengeti National Park covers a massive 5,700 square miles and plays host to an array of wildlife. Probably the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world, there’s no finer place to see the variety of stunning animals that roam free throughout the National Park.

The crater, which is said to have the densest concentration of wildlife in Africa, covers about 260 sq km and is up to 610 metres deep in some places. It is one of the best areas in Tanzania to see the endangered black rhino, animal populations in the crater include most of the species found in East Africa (there are no impalas, topis, oribis, giraffes, or crocodiles). The views from the rim of the Ngorongoro Crate are magnificent so it isn’t just the wildlife you’ll need your camera for when you visit! In Olduvai Gorge, the remains of one of the earliest humans can be seen. These fossilized remains of Homo habilis were discovered by Dr. Louis Leakey and were calculated to be 1.75 million years old and the fore-runner of the modern man.
