Dag 18: Serengeti National Park en Lake Natron

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

From Lake Natron we continue to the Serengeti National Park. We spend the night in a tent camp near the border with Kenya. The Serengeti Park is the largest in Tanzania. It is famous for the massive animal migration, which takes place in June from another part of the park. The north of the park is quite green compared to other areas we have been to. The landscape is quite flat for Tanzania, although it is certainly not flat to Dutch eyes.
