The Great Crossing
Watch millions of Wildebeests tread across the magnificent Mara River as they migrate, facing the risk of hungry lions and hyenas pouncing on them.
Fun fact:
Serengeti comes from the Maasai word ‘Siringit’ which means ‘’Endless plains.’’
The park is home to the biggest concentration of predators in the world, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas.
