The Serengeti ecosystem is one of the oldest on earth; some unique life, death, adaptation, and migration patterns are as old as the hills themselves. The migration makes Serengeti the most famous. Over a million wildebeests and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains and later swirl west and north after the long rains in April, May, and June. Their instinct to move is so strong that no crocodile-infested river, gorge, or drought can hold them back. It is worth noting that it isn't just tourists who follow closely on the wildebeest migration; numerous predators pursue this large herd in the hope of satisfying their hunger. Other animals like elephants, giraffes, mongooses, baboons, aardvarks, and 500 bird species are also popular in this park.
Ngorongoro Crater is simply one of the most fascinating places on earth, with more than 30,000 animals, including the highly endangered black rhino. The famous crater was formed over 2.5 million years ago when a volcano as large as Mount Kilimanjaro erupted and then collapsed. After the collapse, the eruption created a large caldera. The crater is also famously known as the Garden of Eden due to its beautiful landscape, majestic vistas, and animal paradise. It is the best getaway from the hustle of everyday life and gives you a glimpse of what life was like a hundred years ago for most people.
