When Mufasa showed little Simba his possessions, he had the Serengeti National Park in mind. The little lion cub inherited an area of 15 thousand square kilometers, where brown mountains intersect with arid plains, and those, in turn, change to dense forests with lush greenery.
Take a closer look, don't these plains and forests seem familiar to you? These landscapes inspired not only the creators of The Lion King. You've probably seen huge herds of antelopes and a cheetah preparing to attack them on National Geographic and Animals Planet TV channels.
A trip to the Serengeti National Park will be one of the most memorable experiences of your life. Here lions, zebras, or wildebeest can roam safely a few meters away from you. The true nature! Watch the lions, for example. They have much more in common with your pet cat than with the bloodthirsty king of the jungle.
Here, in the kingdom of wild nature, where leopards lurk in the grass to attack a herd of antelopes, and giraffes graze a little further away, you can experience fear, interest, delight, and a feeling of incredible harmony. Most of the animals can be found during migration. Because of the drought, they are forced to move to more rainy places not only within one reserve but also to other parks. The migration of antelopes across the Mara River is especially impressive.
The name of the Serengeti Park translates as "endless plains", and indeed, when you look out the window of an SUV, it seems that this park has no end. Somewhere, far, far away, huge elephants, careless zebras, and majestic cheetahs turn into dark silhouettes against the backdrop of a red sunset. And beyond the sunset, everything repeats: the plain, grazing animals, mountains and jungle Awesome! You look into the distance, and the view is a little dazzled by the heat.
