The Serengeti is a region of grasslands and
woodlands in Mara Region in Tanzania.
It has more than 1.6 million herbivores and
thousands of predators. Blue Wildebeests,
gazelles, zebras and buffalos are the animals
most commonly found in the region.
This area is most famous for the migration
that takes place every year, which is
considered to be one of the seven tourist
travel wonders of the world and was named by
the American television show Good Morning
America and newspaper USA Today as one of the
"New Seven Wonders of the World" [1] in 2006. Tags :africasafariserengetilionstanzaniaelephants

NPM-DVD-142 - In the north of Tanzania is one
of Africa's finest natural landscapes, the
Serengeti. From endless grass covered
savannahs to dense rain forests the large
variety of landscapes as well as many species
of wildlife is really quite remarkable.
The Massai have retained their age-old
traditions and the pastures at the bottom of
the Ngorongoro Crater are ideal for their
herds of cattle. The two hundred and sixty
square kilometre Ngorongoro Crater is not
only a wonder of nature but also home to an
impressive number of animals. The bottom of
the crater is covered with grass and several
watering holes provide a perfect habitat for
large herds of wild animals.
In the second half of the twentieth century
two British archaeologists and
anthropologists made several striking
discoveries in the region. In the Oldupai
Canyon they discovered a Hominid skull that
made both explorers world famous as the
almost two million year old skull was the
oldest prehistoric discovery of human
existence ever found.
Each morning two balloons take off from the
Massai Kopjes in the centre of the National
Park on a one hour journey above the
Serengeti. Depending on wind and weather
conditions the balloon rises to an altitude
of more than three hundred metres above sea
level. The pilots often navigate their
balloons close to the ground and just above
the treetops when most of the animals run
away at the sight of the hot air balloon and
the strange sound caused by its burner.
Gazelles, gnus and buffalo crowd into their
favourite pastureland that is usually located
close to various watering holes while
vultures are always to be found close to the
herds and are always ready to take advantage
of a dead or dying animal.
The Serengeti - a symbol of a paradise that
may not last forever and a world full of
primeval beauty and natural wonder. Tags :SERENGETINGORONGOROTanzaniaMassaiadventuredestinationlandmarknaturetravellogculture
