What is the ecosystem of Serengeti National Park? Serengeti national park is one of the few national parks that features the highest concentration of wild animals and it is the most famous national park in Tanzania. Most of the visitors coming all over the world come and enjoy the ecosystem and the wildness in the Serengeti National Park. A lot of the visitors do enjoy the different mammals and landscaped that do comprise the national park. the ecosystem of the Serengeti national park is extended to about 30,000 square kilometers and it stretches up to northern Tanzania to southern Kenya and this include the Maasai Mara and the Grumeti National Reserves, then the ecosystem also includes the Ngorongoro, Serengeti national park, the controlled areas of the Ikorongo, Loliondo and the known Maswa Reserve. This ecosystem of Serengeti contains a lot of wildlife that does attract several visitors.

The Serengeti national park takes up the lion’s share of the namesake Ecosystem’s territory, 14,763 square kilometers to be exact. It’s also necessary for Tanzania’s “Northern Safari Circuit,” which encompasses the Lake Manyara National Park, Tarangire National Park, Arusha National Park, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. In 1981, it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List as a significant site.

Serengeti is the pinnacles of and the famous park which involves the greatest ever animal movement.

Within the Serengeti National Park, more than two million wildebeest and several zebras keep on moving from through the Serengeti savannah endless plains as they look for the new pastures and the remaining water holes in the endless plains. This movement of the animals is regarded as the best in the whole world and as the animals do move through this movement, they face a lot of difficulties since they have to traverse are full of the predators, such as the lions, leopards, cheetahs, and the Nile crocodiles. Despite this, the wildebeest keep on moving and they do employ the survival for the fittest tactics.

It is also important to note that the Serengeti national park other than the famous wildebeest animals, features, more than 65 species of mammals, and these mammals include among others the following hippos, lions, leopards, cheetahs, striped hyenas, spotted hyenas, African wild canines, rhinos, elephants elands, impalas, waterbucks, topi pronghorns, hartebeests, gemsboks, Thomson gazelles, Maasai giraffes, bison, warthogs, jackals, bat-eared fox, In addition, more than 500 different bird species have been identified. This places the Serengeti, along with Tanzania’s Tarangire National Park, as the region with the most notable ornithological focus.

Also, the gazelles themselves are also involved in the movement in Serengeti National Park. However, the numbers here are very small and they can be equated to those in the wildebeest migration bit still it also remains as one of the great opportunities and fine events for you to enjoy the species. When it clocks in the drier months, around 250,000 gazelles looking for water and food migrate to the Central Serengeti and the Seronera after resting in the Eastern Serengeti fields during the rainy months. Because gazelles are a plentiful source of food for hunters, a few cheetahs and lions trail them. Several types of plants can be seen in the recreation area, which determines the kind of species that can live in a given place. Low prairies can be found to the south. They are not just a well-known feature of the recreation area, but they are also the source of its name: The Serengeti is named after the Maa word “Serengeti,” which means “infinite pastures”

Serengeti national park features a lot of the varied vegetation types that enable or determine the habitat of the animals. It is because of various vegetation types that the park has that enables a lot of the animals to be in the animals that do live in this good   and outstanding national park. The sweeping low meadows to the south lend Serengeti National Park its name, which comes from the Arabic term Siringet, which means “endless fields.” The soil here, which is mostly comprised of volcanic rocks, encourages the growth of trees, and wildebeests are common sightings among those who join in the feeding spices. Because of the movement, the receptiveness of the space encourages creature sightings, especially from December to April. The open fields progressively merge in the savanna bushes and into the acacia, inclining toward more giraffes as you travel north.

In the northern part of the Serengeti National Park, the endless plains or the grassland leaves no opportunity for the other vegetation types such as the bush savannah and the expanses of the acacia trees and the soil here produced clear and favors the plants, shrubs, which grow very fast and quickly.

The Great Migration continues south to return to the supporting fields as the light rains season begins. The species relax in these landscapes until the end of the heavy rain season when the lengthy dry season arrives and there are no long-term water sources in the South. This forces wildebeests and zebras to migrate north, where they will find green grazing grounds and highly long-lasting water sources, allowing them to weather the dry spell. The path is treacherous. The creatures walk along an 800 km round circuit, which is littered with hidden dangers, on a regular basis. Hunters on land and in the sea are often lurking around.

The Serengeti Ecosystem region still harbors a few Eastern African peoples: The Masai, who are well-known for their style and magnificent gems, and the Hadzabe and Datoga, two peoples who dwell in the environmental conditions surrounding Lake Eyasi and whose way of life is based on millenary rituals.

The Serengeti Ecosystem also consists of Olduvai Gorge, which is also popularly known as the Oldupai Gorge. A few fossils were discovered here that belonged to the first individuals who inhabited our planet. Additionally, archaic petroglyphs were discovered that depicted, among other things, the Great Migration over a lengthy period of time. This is why this valley is frequently referred to as “the support of mankind. The ecosystem is so much interesting in supporting the wildlife in Serengeti National Park.
