Virtual Africa: Tanzania-The Serengeti


 Covering 5,700 square miles,  Serengeti means "the place where the land runs on forever".

The National Park was founded in 1940.

It is broken into 

The Plains


 

The Western Corridor


 

and Northern Serengeti.


 

Human habitation is forbidden in the park.

Serengeti is thought to be home to the largest assortment and numbers of animals and birds in the world.

An iconic migration takes place annually as 1.5 million wildebeest migrate from the south to the North.


 

They are joined in this migration by Eland, Gazelle and Zebra.

Recently a rare sight was seen


 A spotted zebra foal.

This happens very very infrequently.

Now you have seen him, too!
