The big five animals are the wildlife in Serengeti National Park
A safari cannot be considered successful unless the big five animals of the region are seen. The big five mammals in Africa is amazing, and here at Serengeti National Park Tanzania, it doesn’t disappoint. The big five wildlife animals include the rhino, the lions, elephants, cape African buffaloes, the leopards, and the African elephants. These animals are called the “big five” animals in the wild because they are difficult to hunt down by the poachers. This is because these animals can easily fight back, especially when they are attacked. It is also not easy to attach these animals.
It is magical in Serengeti National Park as these animals can be easily seen by everyone and you will be able to pull your camera from your bag and shoot these animals. Other than these, there are also other credible wildlife species in Serengeti National Park that you will be able to shoot, and these include giraffes and hippos as well.
Apart from the big five animals of the Serengeti National Park, there are also animals which you will see while on your safari to the Serengeti National Park. You should be aware that Serengeti National Park is home to a diverse range of wild species that roam the park’s endless plains. now and then, the Serengeti National Park does look new with its ever changing rich flat soils in the southern part of the park and the infertile, which you can call the poor soil in the northern part of the park.
Serengeti National Park features unique habitats that include the riverine ecosystem. This ecosystem in the park has provided the wonderful and perfect conditions for the different wildlife in the park to live in. Some of the wildlife animals that can be seen here include the huge Nile crocodiles, the hippos, and several other bird species that include zebras, kongonmi, impala, topi, eland, and Grant gazelle, which are permanent residents and can be seen at any time of the year. If you decide and your wish is to see the lion, then you do need to miss the riverine ecosystem of the Serengeti National Park. Lions and hyenas can be easily seen in the leopards, but in most cases, the lions can be spotted anywhere and at any time, and you will be blessed to see the lions on a hunting mission. Driving in the eastern plains of the Serengeti National Park, you will be able to see the cheetahs and leopards, which can be easily found in the trees scattered around the Seronera River. The hyenas in Serengeti National Park are very common, but it is not easy to trace the Serengeti wild dogs.
Wildlife in the Serengeti includes a variety of bird species.
Are you aware that there are several species of birds in Serengeti National Park? Here we go; Serengeti National Park is one of the best destinations for birding, and in fact, even those who do not like birding have left the park, when actually they are birders because of the diverse species of birds that can be identified in Serengeti National Park. At least 500 species of birds have been recorded in Serengeti National Park and please make sure that you get use of the guide because she or he is well equipped with the guide and knows more about birding. He will even identify the birds by sound, so the bird species will supplement the big five animals. Some of the unique bird species that you will encounter in Serengeti National Park include the Kuri bustartd with its stunning white beard, the bright green and yellow-colored Fichers Lovebird, among others. The Serengeti-Mara ecosystem is one of Africa’s Endemic Bird Areas (land important for bird preservation based on living space), with five bird species found nowhere else, a large portion of which is restricted to the Tanzanian portion of the biological system. Learn more about the birds of the Serengeti.
Before I forget, you need to know that for the birders, they are lucky because the birding takes place all year round in the Serengeti National Park. However, it has been confirmed through our past clients that the best time to do birding in Serengeti National Park is between November and April, when you will be able to see the migratory birds from all over Europe and North America that are present, and it is also the time when the birds are nestling. Therefore, at this time, you will be able to spot different species of birds, both migratory and native.
Small insects are part of the wildlife in Serengeti National Park.
Indeed, this sounds new and naïve, especially for visitors who are not used to insect tours outside of Africa. There are stinging insects in the park, but don’t worry, America and the European countries have more singing insects than what you will see in the Serengeti National Park. Despite this, the magical diversification of other little or small insects in Serengeti National Park cannot be ignored as they are also important in the ecosystem balance. Guides will make sure that you get to know more of these animals, and the most common ones include the moths, grasshoppers, butterflies, termites, and dug beetles.
