Baby boom in Serengeti

Even though the gnu calves in impressing short time is on their feet and the number of calves being bourn during this baby boom (about 400 000) can feed a lot of lion families, many become an easy prey for lions, cheetahs, hyenas, jackals and other predators. It is not easy to avoid being eaten when you are born in to the area that has the highest concentration of predators in the world. Others die from the exhaustion during the long walk.

Eternal search for food and water

As a phenomenon the great migration has no start or ending, it seems to be an eternal cycle. In these days there is a dry, which means that the food disappears and that the eternal search for grass and water continues. The endless flocks of gnu’s, zebra’s and antelopes move North West, towards the spring of the Nile, Victoria Lake. Here the grass is still high and the different species share the food like family. They have specialized in eating different parts of the grass and the herbs on the savannah to reduce the competition.

A magical sight

Over one million gnu’s have the company of hundreds of thousands Thomson gazelles, zebras, and other animals. Totally they are no less than two million animals. This is a sight and a noise that takes your breath away. This needs to be experienced!

On the savannas you may also se large flocks of elephants, the worlds largest, but quite shy antelope, called eland, the threatening black rhino, graceful giraffes, flocks of buffalos and many other fascinating animals. On top of these are over 500 bird species, characteristically acacia-trees and beautiful sceneries in the sunset. The park above all parks has a lot to offer.
