The Serengeti National Park, which spans 14673 square kilometers and borders Kenya, is Tanzanian oldest. The Park covers part of the 30,000-square-kilometer Serengeti-Maasai Mara Ecosystem, which is defined by the seasonal movements of wildebeest. Virtually every African animal species may be found in the Serengeti, which is home to millions of plains game that constantly circle the habitat. The park's massive granite rocks, known as kopjes, provide a haven for birds, colourful Agama lizards and gloomy snakes, charming rock hyraxes, and large cats seeking protection from the weather.
With its diversity, the Serengeti includes forest, thornbush, wetlands, and Lakes Lagaja and Magadi, sustaining over 30 species of big animals and over 500 species of birds, including Eurasian migrants.
