Serengeti National Park spans 1.5 million hectares of savannah and open woodlands, home to the largest herds of grazing animals in the world. The migration of wild animals, zebras, and antelopes in May and June creates a spectacular sight as they surge into the plains 
in the Central region: Herds can stretch over 10 kilometers long, followed closely by their predators. This park, along with the adjacent Ngorongoro Conservation Area, forms the largest wildlife sanctuary in the world.
At the center lies the majestic, extinct Ngorongoro Crater, rising to an elevation of 2,286 meters, with a diameter ranging from 15 to 20 kilometers. This forested area has long served as a home for many generations of Maasai people who herd livestock. Their herds share the grasslands and water holes with a rich and diverse array of wildlife.
Significant excavations at the fossil site in the Olduvai Gorge, located to the west of Ngorongoro Crater, have revealed remarkable fossils of animal species and human ancestors, particularly Homo sapiens (the skilled human), which are essential for our understanding of humanity’s early evolutionary steps.
