Home to the greatest concentration of plains game in Africa, it is best known for the Great Migration. Each October and November, over a million wildebeest and around 200,000 zebras journey south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains, undeterred by droughts or crocodile-infested rivers. In April and May, they swirl west and north. The Serengeti truly embodies the essence of an African safari.
