Serengeti Migration
November 6th, 2009 by Travel
The Serengeti is a 60,0000 km square area which lies in Kenya and Tanzania, which has two million herbivores and many thousands of predatory animals who feat on these herbivores. Some of the species in the Serengeti are the wildebeest, the gazelle, the zebra, and the buffalo, along with many predators.
Twice during each year there is a massive migration that happens where all the animals, two million of them, cross the Serengeti in search of food during the different periods of the year. It is a five hundred mile journey, and added up is over a thousand miles, considering they do it twice a year. A quarter of a million wildebeest will die on the trek from the Tanzanian Serengeti to the Maasai Mara reserves in Kenya. In recent years this has become a tourist attraction where many, who travel with guides in rugged vehicles, can watch the migration occur.
