Africa’s most impressive wildlife, at Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

by Dubem Nwokike

The Serengeti National Park is one of Africa’s most impressive wildlife destinations. Located on the Great Rift Valley, it’s teeming with wildlife from the big five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo) to cheetahs, giraffes, and hippopotamus. Even though there are no fences or barriers in place to separate humans from animals here at Serengeti National Park, you still need to be aware that danger is ever present!

The Serengeti National Park, in northern Tanzania, is an immense area of savannah plains 12000 sq km (4600 sq miles), dotted with rocky kopjes and straddled by the Grumeti and Mara rivers. It’s teeming with wildlife, from the big five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo) to cheetahs and giraffes. The park also has many smaller animals such as chameleons and rodents like porcupines or squirrels that you can find roaming around on their own territory.

Location

The Great Rift Valley is a geological feature that runs through Africa. It’s located in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda—and if you’re looking for one of the most beautiful places on Earth, it’s no surprise that this region would be considered an ideal vacation spot.

The Serengeti National Park is located on the eastern edge of this great rift valley and offers visitors breathtaking views from its highlands as well as secluded pockets below them. The park has been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site because of its unique landscape: steep slopes covered in dense brush or tall grasses; rocky outcrops surrounded by deep ravines; trees clinging precariously to cliffsides or sitting atop large boulders at their feet—you’ll find all these things here!

In addition to being home to some amazing wildlife (this article will focus mainly on lions), there are also other attractions within Serengeti that make it worth stopping by when visiting: Lake Manyara National Park offers elephants who come down from higher altitudes after drinking water from nearby springs during dry seasons; Ngorongoro Crater offers viewing platforms where you can watch plains lions hunt while they wait for prey animals such as zebras passing through their territory; Lake Bogoria takes travelers right back into history since it served as an important trade route between East Africa & Arabia before European explorers arrived during colonial times.

The local Maasai people have grazed their cattle here for centuries but didn’t venture into the park because they believed it was full of ghosts. Even today, without fences or barriers to separate animals from humans, you need to be aware that danger is ever present.

You can also join a group on an off-road safari through Kenya’s Amboseli National Park, which has more than 1 million elephants in its protected areas alone; this tour includes a night at Kichwa Tembo Camp (with accommodation in tents).

So, why go? 

There are a lot of reasons to visit Serengeti National Park, but one of the most important is that it’s home to more than 2,000 species and subspecies of animals. The park covers an area of 1 million acres (3.5 square miles) and is located on the border between Tanzania and Kenya.

The vastness of this area means that there are many different habitats—from grasslands to swamps—and all those animals need space in which they can live their lives undisturbed by humans. This makes Serengeti an ideal place for wildlife lovers who want to see some truly impressive creatures without having their cameras taken away from them by armed guards or being told not to look at certain parts because it might upset someone else’s feelings!

Serengeti is also known for its lack of fences or barriers between humans and animals; this makes it easier for tourists like yourself who may not know how dangerous these wild creatures can be when they feel threatened by something unexpected happening unexpectedly close behind them while doing something fun like walking along trails through forested areas where giraffes graze under trees while elephants wander around peacefully chewing grasses just inches away from where people stand staring intently at giant mammals eating breakfast foods such as bananas off branches high above ground level!”

A trip to the Serengeti National Park is one of the things that many people dream about doing in their lifetime. It’s a great place to go if you want to see some of Africa’s most impressive wildlife and learn how these majestic animals interact with each other.
