The
Serengeti Plain, located in north-central
Tanzania, (
Africa) is world renowned as an ideal location for wildlife and nature
photography. Much of the beauty is attributed to its sweeping vistas and dramatic natural features that extend over 60,000 square kilometers. The Serengeti has more than 2 million
herbivores and thousands of predators. Blue
Wildebeests,
gazelles,
zebras and
buffalos are the animals most commonly found in the region.
A significant portion of the Serengeti Plain is protected and preserved from the ravages of modern society in the Serengeti National Park. This park, which extends for roughly 12,950 square kilometers, contains a diverse selection of habitats and wildlife. For the sake of comparison, the Serengeti National Park is approximately the size of
Northern Ireland. It offers some of the most spectacular and undisturbed natural habitats found anywhere on the globe. The Serengeti National Park is bordered by
Lake Victoria in the west, Lake Eyasi in the south, and the
Great Rift Valley to the east.
