One of the chief reasons to visit Serengeti National Park is wildlife. This is where you’ll see wildlife in an endless and unspoiled wilderness. From the iconic Big Five and massive herds of wildebeests and elephants too much smaller creatures like the charming dung beetle, the Serengeti Wildlife is extremely rich and varied.
These animals define what Serengeti Wildlife Safaris are all about. You’re going to see all of the impressive big five in their natural habitat here including leopards, elephants, lions, rhinos, and cape buffaloes. The term big five was coined by game hunters because they proved the most difficult to hunt, thankfully all the big five are now only shot with the lens of a camera.
Serengeti National Park is one of the best parks in the world to see predators. The interaction between predator and prey during the Great Migration Serengeti is something that you shouldn’t miss out on.
