Africa is a continent blessed with a vast land area and a rich culture and heritage. It covers 20.4% of the earth's total land area,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and is the world's second most populated continent next to Asia. Since Africa is said to be the origin of humans and the great apes, it has been the focus of many scientific studies and researches. Moreover, the geographical attributes of the land produces panoramic formations and gigantic perches. More importantly, Africa is considered home to thousands of species of flora and fauna. Thus, it is not actually surprising why most people prefer going to Africa for their vacations.
One of the oldest known continuously inhabited places on earth is Tanzania, which is located in East Africa. It is the 31st largest country in the world and covers more than 945,000 square kilometers of land. Due to the vastness of the land in Tanzania, many national parks can be found here including Arusha, Kilimanjaro, Lake Manyara, Mikumi, Udzungwa,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Serengeti to name a few.
Among these national parks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one of the most popular is the Serengeti National Park. This park is renowned for its annual migration activities. The annual migration of the Serengeti National Park covers around 1.5 million of white bearded wildebeest, some 200,000 zebras, and 300,000 gazelles. This is by the far the longest and largest overland migration in all of Africa.
While these migrations take place all year round, the wildebeest migration takes place between the months of November to July of next year. On the other hand, the zebra migration takes place between May to June. Thus, for people who want to witness this phenomenon, the best way to do it is to camp inside Serengeti.
Since the Serengeti migration is one of the highlights of an African adventure, many migration camping packages are offered by various tourism services to accommodate tourists who want to witness the largest overland migration in the world. Various camping and accommodation services are available within the Serengeti National Park, although the migration activities are not just limited to the confines of the park. In order to get the best seats in actual wildebeest, zebra, or gazelle migration, it is important to identify the best base point at the perfect time. Thus, in a Serengeti migration camp tour, one is expected to be on the move most of the time, in order to anticipate the course of the migrants.
