Overview

• The Serengeti, a UNESCO World Heritage Site is arguably the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world. “Serengeti” means “endless plains” in the Maasai language, and within its boundaries are then three million large mammals. In May or early June, huge herds of wildebeest and zebra begin their spectacular 600-mile pilgrimage – in their wake follow the predators – lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, and jackal – while vultures circle overhead and some of Africa’s largest crocodile lie in wait. There is, of course, also a profusion of bird life – over 500 species. Described by UNESCO as “one of the most impressive natural spectacles in the world” – its sheer marvel has best been captured by the “Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature” in 1960’s Serengeti Shall Not Die (German: Serengeti darf nicht sterben) – the 1959 German documentary film written and directed by Bernhard Grzimek.
