Serengeti
Serengeti
is a region of
grasslands
and
woodlands
in
Africa
shared between the countries of
Tanzania
in the south and
Kenya
in the north. The whole region is spread over around thirty thousand square kilometers. Eighty percent of this region lies in Tanzania. It has more than 1.6 million
herbivores
and thousands of
predators
. Mostly found animals in this region are the
wildebeests
,
gazelles
,
zebras
and
buffalos
. This area is most famous for the
migration
that takes place every year. Every year around October nearly 1.5 million herbivores travel towards the southern
plains
, crossing the
Mara River
, from the northern hills for the rains. And then back to the north through the west, once again crossing the Mara river, after the rains in around April. This phenomenon is sometimes also called the Circular Migration. Also in this area is the
archeologically
significant
Oldupai Gorge
(also incorrectly referred to as the Olduvai Gorge) where some of the oldest
hominid
fossils
are found. The Serengeti region contains the
Serengeti National Park
in Tanzania,
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
,
Maswa Game Reserve
and the
Maasai Mara National Reserve
in Kenya.
