Serengeti National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Tanzania, is renowned for its vast savannahs teeming with wildlife, including the iconic "Big Five" – lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos. It hosts the annual Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other animals traverse the plains in search of fresh grazing lands, a spectacular natural phenomenon. The park's diverse ecosystems also support over 500 bird species and numerous predators, making it a global hotspot for biodiversity and conservation. Its cultural significance is enhanced by ancient archaeological sites, offering insights into early human history.
