The Serengeti National Park is the size of the state of Connecticut. It actually translates into "endless plain" and it really it. The Serengeti stretches over 5,700 square miles of plains, riverine bush, woodland, and a dominant environment of acacia grassland. The acacia trees are everywhere (the flat top looking trees). We stayed in tents for 4 nights and even had encounters with animals at night stealing our water buckets, lapping up water, or howling in the distance!
During the migration season (we were there towards the end of it) over 200,000 zebra and 500,000 wildebeest cross through the plains in pursuit of water. It is beautiful here and the animals amazing! We saw 4 out of the big 5 (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard) Although we tried, we did not see the rhino. Some more shots of animals seen:yes the cheetahs were this close to our jeep
