Serengeti
The Serengeti National Park, famed for its annual wildebeest migration, is a must-see destination in East Africa. The park offers incredible wildlife viewing opportunities year-round, especially if you want to spot the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino). Visitors can also expect to see cheetahs, giraffes, and various species of birds. The park is characterized by vast plains, kopjes (rocky outcrops), and wooded hills. Its diverse landscape provides a habitat for a wide range of wildlife, making it one of the most biodiverse areas on Earth. The park's history is intertwined with the Maasai people, who have lived in the region for centuries. Their traditional knowledge and practices have played a vital role in shaping the Serengeti's ecosystem.
The best time to visit is during the dry season (June-October) when animals gather around waterholes and rivers due to sparse vegetation. Daytime temperatures average 25°C (77°F) and night time temperatures average 15°C (59°F). The wet season (November-May) offers good wildlife viewing opportunities, especially during the calving season (January-February), with lush landscapes and abundant birdlife. Daytime temperatures average 28°C (82°F) and night time temperatures average 18°C (64°F).
