The vast expanse of the Serengeti National Park's savanna is home to the annual migration of Tanzania's wildebeest, zebra and antelope herds. Throughout the journey, the herbivores are constantly being chased by the great hunters of the region. A trip to the Serengeti is as raw a force as can be seen on the planet today.
From the park, visitors can watch as millions of hooves pound across the arid landscape; a sea of black, white and brown furs followed by dust clouds that measure 25 miles in length during the migration's prime months.
The massive herds also move at a near-constant rate due to food shortages, giving travelers an action-packed glimpse at the region's wildlife.
Although the park's larger inhabitants will receive a vast majority of the attention, travelers looking for something beyond the big five can find a wide variety of smaller, yet just as interesting, creatures to watch. The park's "little five," which includes the ant lion and the rhino beetle, also must fight for survival, with their small bodies constantly battling the elements.
