Tanzania is known for its national parks. Probably the most famous of these is the Serengeti National Park. "Sepenegeti" in Masai language means "endless plains". For the first time on these sites Europeans discovered only in 1913. To the chagrin, as well as all the land the British colonies in East Africa, the Serengeti Plains area soon became a pilgrimage for numerous hunters from Europe. In 1929 part of the Serengeti plains was declared a hunting reserve. In 1940, the plains became a protected area. However, due to financial problems of the Serengeti Plains remained a protected area on paper. In 1951 the territory was granted National Park status. But the park has acquired international status only in 1981. At the same time he was recognized as UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage.
Serengeti National Park - by all means, especially popular in the world treasury of wildlife, which knows no equal in beauty and scientific value. Serengeti - oldest and most famous park of Tanzania - popular for its annual migration: about 6 million hooves trample the plains, when 200,000 zebras and 300,000 Thomson's gazelles are looking for fresh food with the wildebeest. However, even beyond the period of migration in the Serengeti safari in Africa brightest: the enormous herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephants and giraffes, thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, Kongone, impala and gazelle Grant.
Huge herds of various antelope: Eland Patterson klipshpringer, gazelles, water and marsh goat, dik-dik, zebra, impala, bushbak, Beta standard sources, swamps, Tanzanian duiker, Kongone, buffalo, antelope, black horse. Leopards, lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, Cape hunting dog. Small mammals: warthog, dolgonog, baboon, porcupine, Queen, colobus, green monkey, mongoose, monkey-Hussar. Large mammals: the elephant, hippo, giraffe, rhino. Nearly 500 species of birds, including storks, ostrich era, lesser spotted eagles, vultures, flamingos, fighting an eagle. Reptiles: crocodiles, a number of species of snakes and lizards.The most exciting idea in the largest park of Tanzania - hunting predators.In the vastness of the plains grassland prides of lions Goldrinn feast. Between the acacias, growing along the Seronera River, leopards prowl - single, and on the south-eastern plains in search of prey haunting many cheetahs. In fact, a rare case: here there are all three species of African jackal, spotted hyena, along with less prominent and the mass of small predators, from insects to red earth wolf serval.
Endless, like the pleasure of seeing the animals, it may seem at first glance, a feeling of space on the Serengeti Plains, stretching across sun burnt savannah to a shining golden horizon. However, after a season of rains this golden expanse of grass is transformed into seemingly endless green carpet on which the scattered field flowers. Even here there are overgrown with trees, hills, tall termite mounds, and extend along the river banks fig trees and acacia planting, orange dust. And, despite the immense popularity the Serengeti, the park is so neohvaten that may be the only witness to how the pride of lions hunting, chasing their food.
