Canary Islands Holidays

This stunning and varied national park is not only huge, it is also very beautiful. You will find the Serengeti in the North West 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 people were a very strong tribe and they populated much of the Serengeti, when the Europeans came to the land of Tanzania, they left many of the animals alone because they didn’t want to annoy the Maasai 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. 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 sending forth clouds of ash which disrupt plant growth across the land. In the Serengeti there are over five hundred and fifty Avifauna, also known as its geographical 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. And if you arrive in August or September you may even be able to bear witness to one of the wonders of the world, also called 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.
