Serengeti National Park. Serengeti National Park What is the Serengeti in Africa

Serengeti is the name of the Tanzania reserve, which is included in the ranking of the largest national parks on the planet. It is distinguished by its unique nature and extraordinary wildlife.

National Park located in the northern part of Tanzania (near the Great African Rift). On one side is Lake Victoria, and on the other is Mount Kilimanjaro. In the western part the reserve resembles a narrow corridor. Its length is about 8 km. From the north side it reaches the Kenyan customs office.

Every year, zebras and ungulates move a distance of 800 km to find a source of food and water during the hot season. With the beginning of spring, zebras and antelopes move west across the Grumeti River. After 1.5-2 months they go north. At this time, their main food is green plants. IN last month In summer, herbivores populate the Maasai Mara reserve.

And only with the arrival of October they return to the Serengeti, but along a different road. In February, a huge number of foals, calves and other animals are born here. Tourists observe the animal world through hunting trips in jeeps. Here they can see exotic lakes and rivers, plains and savannas.

Of great interest are the rocks with carved drawings of the Maasai tribe. The park has the opportunity to fly hot-air balloon. It is recommended to come here in December-March. Most often visited is the south-eastern and central part Savannah, since the village of Seronera and the park's largest airfield are located here.

History of the park

The Serengeti (a national park located in East Africa) was the domain of wild animals for centuries until the Maasai settled here. The tribes came up with the name for this territory. Serengeti is translated as an area with endless lands.

The reserve is famous for its African quintet, which includes buffalo, leopard, giraffe, elephant, and lion. The presence of these animals served as an impetus for the influx of tourists from the Old and New Worlds at the beginning of the twentieth century. At the end of the 20s In the 20th century, some territories were classified as hunting reserves, in which animal hunting was limited.

The Serengeti officially became a reserve only in 1951. B. Grzimek (German zoologist) made a lot of efforts to leave the flora and fauna of East Africa in its original form. The scientist created a Research Institute in the Serengeti. Here they studied flora and fauna.

The national park became famous thanks to a book called “The Serengeti Must Not Die” and television series about the reserve (they were watched by over 35 million Europeans).

Landscape of Serengeti National Park

During heavy rainfall in November-May, zebras and wildebeest find shelter in the grassy areas. The end of spring is characterized by the drying out of vegetation, so antelopes go to the water in northern part reserve. Closer to the center of the park, more plants are found in nature. Here is the city of Seronera with the headquarters of the reserve and the Research Institute.

In the northern Serengeti there are hills and forests where elephants make marks on trees. But zebras and antelopes are almost impossible to find. Colobus monkeys (black and white monkeys) live in the forest. There are crocodiles in the waters of the Nile.

The Serengeti (a world-class national park) is known for the following landscapes:

• grasslands that are located in the southern part of the Serengeti;
• varied forests and plains located in the west;
• hilly forests occupying the north of the reserve;
• volcanoes located in the southeast;
• savanas (center of Serengeti).

On either side of the reserve there is a lake, swamp or small river. Modern landscapes are significantly different from the original ones.

Problems of Serengeti National Park

Local population comes to the reserve to buy animal meat, which brings additional income. Previously, wild animals were hunted extremely rarely. However, today this type of fishing has begun to be used to expand business. Every 12 months in national park About 200 thousand wild animals are killed, which is the main reason for the extinction of many species.

There has also been an increase in the number of elephants that have left their native areas due to unwanted human activity. This had a detrimental effect on the flora of the Serengeti. Elephants break tree branches and destroy grass cover. In the early 90s In the 20th century, cases of canine distemper became more frequent, causing the death of a significant number of lions.

At the same time, domestic dogs became popular. A rabies epidemic broke out. As a result, wild dogs also became extinct. At the end of the 80s The idea of ​​protected areas has undergone reform. Before this, people were removed from control over the territory of the reserve. Now the main emphasis is on the importance of preserving pristine nature and its inhabitants.

It is established at the legislative level that wild animals are the main economic means for the indigenous population.

According to new development residents have the right to use the Serengeti's environmental resources. The authorities expect that accepted position will reduce the level of illegal hunting in the reserve. Today, the area around the national park is considered a buffer territory. Here people have the right to dispose natural resources.

Nature of the reserve

Near the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Biosphere Reserve is the Olduvai Gorge. The length of its territory is about 250 km 2, and the depth is approximately 100 m. The reserve was called the human cradle, since remains were found here over 2 million years ago primitive people. Archaeologists are currently conducting research in Olduvai. Therefore, visiting the gorge is temporarily limited.

The nature of the reserve dates back to ancient times. It has retained its original appearance from an era that began 2.5 million years ago.

During this period, mammals dominated the Serengeti. The Serengeti (a national park with a huge area) consists of endless valleys with hills on which grass grows. One species of antelope (blue wildebeest) also lives outside the park. Pink and small flamingos, as well as zebras, are found near Lake Magadi.

Fauna of Serengeti National Park

Lives in the Serengeti large quantity animals than in other reserves.

These include:

• giraffes;
• zebras;
• black rhinoceroses;
• wildebeest;
• crowned cranes;
• warthogs;
• hippos;
• Thompson's gazelles;
• elephants;
• African buffalos.

Most ungulates are a source of food for leopards, lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. The reserve has over 16 species of small predators, including foxes and jackals. Officially, the park is home to 350 species of birds. Red buzzard, Cape owl, ostrich and crested eagle are found here.

The road to the north leads the ungulates through the rivers. Crocodiles lie in wait for moving animals. Wildebeest occupy the habitat of lion prides, which set traps for them. Animals that lag behind risk being eaten by hyenas, cheetahs or leopards. The vultures flock to the remaining parts of the animals. They cannot divide the prey, so the animal is gnawed to the bone.

For several decades in a row, scientists have been conducting research in the Serengeti, the subject of which is the behavior of leopards, lions, the ecology of termites and scarabs, and the retention of mongooses in the territory.

Animal migration

The national park is famous for the great migration of animals. Wildebeest and zebras leave the hot area in October-November. They're heading to southern part Serengeti. It is dominated by flat terrain with tropical rains, stormy winds and thunderstorms. The movement looks quite impressive from the outside. It is best to view them from a low height.

Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Migration of wildebeest and zebra.

After 6 months, these herds return. Animals are not disturbed by either drought or predators, for whom it is time favorable period. While moving, they eat their fill of prey. Animals during the migration period destroy almost all plants. Some die on the way, others become food for predators. During the same period, antelopes and zebras give birth to offspring. Migration repeats itself from year to year.

Vegetable world

The savannah type of vegetation is favored by variable humidity in the Serengeti. When there is heavy rainfall, the plants turn emerald green. However, the rest of the time they are like a desert. Near Lake Victoria, the grass reaches 3-4 m. In one year, 10 thousand km 2 of savannah produces no less organic matter than in forests.

Ficus, commiphora, baobab, and acacia trees grow here. Sometimes you can see ebony. Among other things, perennial herbs, cereal plants, and shrubs grow.

Climate of Serengeti National Park

The reserve is usually hot and dry. average temperature per year - approximately +21°C, but can reach +25°C. In the east, approximately 550 mm of rain falls, in the west and north - up to 1.2 mm. However, moisture evaporates quite quickly because the air temperature is too high.

The amount of precipitation fluctuates every year (wet months are replaced by dry ones). From May to November there is virtually no rainfall, the ground dries out and vegetation dies. The rainy season occurs in winter and early spring.

Safari in Serengeti National Park

About 40 thousand tourists come to the Serengeti to take part in hunting trips in East Africa. In Swahili, safari means travel. However, when translated from English, it also means an animal viewing adventure. Roosevelt, Churchill, Hemingway and some other celebrities visited this area for safari in the early twentieth century.

IN modern conditions You are not allowed to hunt during the safari. Animals can be viewed and photos taken. For hunting trips the Serengeti is great place. The territory of the reserve is quite large, tourists practically do not see each other. People travel by jeep or on foot with a guide.

Closer to the north of the park there are hotels so that tourists can spend the night in comfort. In addition to them, there are camps where it is possible to set up a tent for the night.

There are no permanent residents in the reserve. However, the east is inhabited by the Maasai, and western territory densely populated. Over the past few decades, the population in the Serengeti has been increasing. There are more and more wild animals, so there is not enough land for grazing livestock. Grassland is quickly becoming a place to plant crops.

Miracles in the Serengeti

The list of wonders of the world includes the animal migration in Tanzania, which is called a unique and dramatic natural phenomenon. Until now, it has not been fully understood why large herds of animals run forward without looking back, cross rivers and do not pay attention to predators.

This process begins at the same time. Zebras and antelopes move along the same route with slight deviations to the side.

Cultural and natural heritage of the park

The Serengeti is a national park with rich wildlife. At the beginning of its existence it consisted of a small reserve. The length of its territory was about 3.2 km 2 (1921). After 8 years, the boundaries have been increased. In 1940, the park was recognized as an area that should be protected.

However, due to financial difficulties, the concept of protection existed only by documents. Reserve international level The park became established in the early 80s of the twentieth century. It was given the status of a UNESCO World Natural and Cultural Heritage Site.

Kenya's Maasai Mara National Park can be considered to flow smoothly from the Serengeti reserve, biological system which is the oldest in the world. Scientists believe that the pristine nature has not changed since its formation. In terms of the number of inhabitants, the Serengeti is not inferior to any African reserve.

Every year, tens of thousands of tourists come to Tanzania to visit this park. Here are the most favorable conditions to watch giraffes, lions, and leopards. The reserve belongs to the natural and ethnographic park. Its goal is to preserve the traditions and culture of the Maasai.

Proceeds from tourism go to support normal condition Serengeti. It is also financed by some environmental organizations from different countries peace. Ecological system regularly monitored.

Serengeti National Park is one of the most famous and oldest national parks not only in Africa, but throughout the world. It was founded in Tanzania in the now distant 1951, when this country was still a British colony.

The nature of this park is unique and truly beautiful in many ways. The endless rolling plains here stretch from the shores of the great Lake Victoria to the Kenyan border and disappear beyond the horizon. The name of the park is translated from one of the local language dialects - “endless plains”.

The park is home to more than 3 million animals large species. In the Serengeti you can see countless herds of zebras and antelopes, many lions, hyenas, cheetahs, as well as rhinoceroses, giraffes and hippos. The rivers and small streams of the park are home to hordes of crocodiles.

A huge number of lovers of wild, pristine nature come to the Serengeti from all over globe to admire the prides of lions that live here in abundance of food; leopards hiding in the crowns of acacias growing along the banks of rivers.

A unique sight is a cheetah sneaking after prey, which in an instant starts behind a nimble antelope and pursues it with wild speed and thirst for prey. Hyenas, servals, small predators– who is there in the vast expanses of the Serengeti!

Migration

But one of the most amazing sights of the Serengeti Park is the seasonal migration of animals. Every year, at the same time (October - November), more than a million zebras and wildebeest rush from the sun-dried and devastated hills in the north to the plains in the south of the park, abundantly watered by seasonal tropical rainfalls.

Hundreds of thousands of heads of herbivores move across the plain, petrified by the scorching sun, raising clouds of dust into the air. It is especially spectacular to observe this movement from afar, from a small hill.

After about six months (from April to June), countless herds of animals go to way back. Their thousand-year-old instinct is so strong that the animals are not stopped at all by severe drought or hordes. bloodthirsty predators who are just waiting for this to eat their fill.

Prosperous times are coming for the park's predatory animals. Having got hungry, they arrange real feasts during the migration period. Predators make ambushes and pursue their victims. They were waiting for this abundance, now they need to be well fed.

During seasonal migrations, herds of antelope and zebra travel thousands of kilometers and eat almost all the vegetation in their path. A huge number of animals die on the road, many become food for predators. But at the same time, herbivores give birth to cubs - and life goes on! And so it has been for more than two million years.

Climate

The climate of the Serengeti Park is dry and warm. After the annual seasonal rains, everything here becomes green, lush and growing rapidly.

But over time, the scorching sun stops the growth, which is eaten by numerous herbivores, making the local landscapes gray and deserted until the next rains.

Park care

The Tanzanian government takes great care, including financially, regarding the Serengeti National Park. Big State well-trained rangers and staff equipped with advanced modern technology and equipment.

Well-armed and equipped ranger teams have been created to combat poachers and protect wild animals.

Tourism

The Serengeti National Park generates good income. Tens of thousands of tourists come here to admire the wild nature and, armed with photographic equipment, explore the local endless expanses.

For this purpose, the park has created an excellent infrastructure that does not harm the environment in any way. Any traveler can relax here, eat, and enjoy life. Although it should be noted that this pleasure cannot be classified as cheap.

Serengeti National Park is Africa's most famous park due to the largest concentration of wildlife on the continent and the migration of millions of wildebeest. The most impressive documentaries about nature were filmed in this beautiful park. "Serengeti" comes from the Maasai language, which means "endless plains", and this describes it perfectly. With an area of ​​14,763 km², Serengeti National Park is one of the largest parks in Tanzania.

The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania was founded in 1952. The park can be divided into 3 sections. The popular southern/central part (Seronera Valley) is what the Maasai called "serengit", the land of endless plains. It's a classic savannah, dotted with acacia trees and filled with wildlife. The western corridor is marked by the Grumeti River and has more forests and dense bush. The north, the Lobo region, meets the Kenyan Masai Mara reserve, which is the least visited area.

The Great Migration in Serengeti National Park

The annual migration of more than a million wildebeest is probably the Serengeti's main attraction. It is truly an impressive sight to see all these mammals thundering across the plains of the Serengeti, crossing rivers in search of water and fresh grass. Mega herds march in columns up to 40 km long, covering a distance of about 1000 kilometers. Dangerous journey for wildebeests, zebras and gazelles who must outsmart their predators. Especially on the Mara and Grumeti rivers, where they are expected giant crocodiles And fast water. The Great Migration is listed as one of the Seven natural wonders light and for many visitors is the highlight of their trip. This is certainly one of the world's largest spectacles for wildlife.

You can see the wildebeest migration at any time of the year as the animals migrate in a circle between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara (Kenya). Exact dates The migrations of the Serengeti wildebeest depend on rainfall patterns each year.

Wildlife in Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park offers much more beauty than just the wildebeest migration. You can see a variety of landscapes and wildlife that are unparalleled anywhere in Africa. The endless plains are home to more than 4,000 lions, 1,000 leopards, 225 cheetahs and 3,500 hyenas. With an abundance of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle and buffalo, it is not surprising that the reserve has so many predators. Serengeti is also one of the best places to see Africa's Big Five - rhino, buffalo, elephant, leopard and lion. This majestic park is home to almost every known African animal, including rare species animals such as pangolin, East African oryx, rhinoceros and wild dog.

The spectacular scenery in Serengeti National Park ranges from acacia savannas and vast grasslands to rising mountains, lakes and swamps. Each area is unique and has its own atmosphere. Due to its natural beauty and diversity of plants and animals, the park is included in the list World Heritage UNESCO.

For many years, wide areas of the Serengeti were largely uninhabited, but a century ago the nomadic Maasai tribes arrived from the north, and with them their livestock. In 1891, the first European arrived here. He was the German naturalist and explorer Dr. Oskar Baumann. In 1913, the first professional hunters from Europe came to the Serengeti.

In 1921, a partial reserve was created in Sarengeti, the area of ​​which was 3.2 km². A complete reserve here was formed in 1929, which also served as the basis for the organization of the National Park. As awareness and need to protect wildlife grew, the reserve expanded and was converted into a national park in 1951.

With an area of ​​8288 km², it was separated from the Serengeti in 1959. Currently Serengeti national park is one of the most famous parks in Tanzania and is the second largest, after Selous Park.

In 2009 Serengeti park celebrated the 50th anniversary of its existence. For scientists, the anniversary served as an occasion to discuss the park's need for protection from the increasing flow of tourists, as well as from incompetent development.

Recently, in the eastern part of the park, in the Olduvai Gorge area (the so-called "cradle of humanity") traces were found ancient man. According to archaeologists, serious harm to research can be caused by free access to the excavation site. In this regard, it was decided to close the studied part of the park to tourists for an indefinite period.

General information, climate and topography of Serengeti National Park

total area is 14,763 km². The park is located in Tanzania, in the Serengeti region.
In the north, protected areas border with Masai Mara Reserve, which is located in Kenya and is a continuation of the park. In the southeast of the Serengeti Park is located biosphere reserve Ngorongoro.

In the territory Serengeti national park, located at an altitude of 910-1890 meters above sea level, dominates tropical climate. Daytime temperatures range from 25 to 30°C.

Serengeti National Park and its flora

Most of the protected area is occupied by forests, which mainly consist of ficus and acacia trees, and ebony can also be seen quite often in them. The park also features granite mountains-remnants of “mines”. They remind stone islands that rise among a boundless sea of ​​grass. Small mounds of rock up to 3 million years old often surround the lands where the park's campgrounds, lodges and hotels are located.

Serengeti National Park and its fauna

gained great fame due to its rich fauna. About 500 bird species and three million animal species inhabit the park's plains.

Animal migration can be called one of the features of the Serengeti National Park. Every year, during the drought period (October-November), about 220 thousand zebras and more than a million wildebeest.

The rainy season begins in April-June and wild animals moving north and west. Neither predators (for example, crocodiles) that live in rivers, nor drought can stop animals - their instinct is so strong. During this long annual journey, the animals travel a distance of 3000 km. Scientists have calculated that all this huge biomass requires approximately 4,000 tons of grass daily. Many animals die on the way, but at the same time about a quarter of a million babies are born.

In 2005, on the territory Serengeti park discovered the world's largest pack of lions. Zoologists call it LION'pride . It includes 41 lions. Three adult males lead the pride, which also includes nine two-year-old lionesses and eight four-year-old lionesses. Also living in the pack are thirteen little lions ranging from four months to one year. Never before in Africa has there been such large flock like this one - "Pride of Seroneras". Typical prides number between 15 and 20 lions.

Big Five leopard in Serengeti National Park

In the territory Serengeti national park you can see almost all types of African animals. This park surpasses all other African national parks in terms of the number of species (plain animals - 35).

The protected area is home to the so-called "Big Five" − lion, rhinoceros, elephant, buffalo and leopard. On the plains you can also find hyenas, jackals, baboons, giraffes, crocodiles, hippos, as well as herbivorous antelopes, waterbucks, hares, Grant's and Thompson's gazelles.

It is a nesting and stopping place for more than five hundred species of birds: secretary birds, bustards, ostriches and many small birds.

We often associate Africa with various wild animals. It has the highest density of wildlife and the richest variety fauna in comparison with other continents of the Earth.

There are various national parks here. Serengeti is one of them. By the way, the continent has the largest number on Earth - 335 pieces. They were able to find protection for about 100,000 species of insects, 1,100 species of mammals, 3,000 species of fish and 2,600 species of birds. There are also various nature reserves here, natural parks, national, marine and forest reserves.

The continent is rich in a variety of habitats. Plains of arid savannas and wet rainforests in the Sahara have become a haven for various species of wildlife. A huge number of fascinating animals live here, some of them are in danger of extinction. In addition, it is believed that this is the place where the first people appeared.

Tanzania

Various national parks are located here. Serengeti is famous park, which every tourist who wants to explore the real Africa dreams of visiting.

Without a doubt, this place is the most famous treasure trove of wildlife in the entire world. It has no equal in scientific value and beauty. Africa's Serengeti National Park, Tanzania's most popular and oldest park, is famous for its annual migrations: more than 6 million pairs of feet trample the plains while 300,000 gazelles and 200,000 zebras and wildebeest search for fresh food. But in the Serengeti, even without migration, there may be vibrant herds of huge buffalos, groups of giraffes and elephants, an incredible number of topis, elandas, impalas, grant's gazelles and kongonis.

Park location

In the region of Tanzania, in which the famous Serengeti Park is located (a map of it is presented in this article). Its northern neighbor is considered to be the Kenyan Maasai Mara reserve, and in the southeast it borders with Ngorongoro.

A little history

Land data for a long time remained completely wild. But about a hundred years ago, the Maasai came to this place - northern nomadic tribes who had domesticated livestock.

The first European came to the Serengeti region in 1891 - Oscar Baumann (German), who was an explorer and naturalist. The first hunters began their activities here in 1913. For several years, the process of forming the territory of the reserve took place in this place, which became the basis for the current national park, which it became in 1951. This action was facilitated by an understanding of the need to preserve African wildlife, as frequent hunting could lead to a rapid decline in the number of lions, which at one time were considered pests.

Eight years later, a reserve was allocated from the Serengeti, which was named Ngorongoro.

In 2009, at the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the park, scientists reported that these unique lands need to be protected from frequent visits of foreigners, due to which tourism in Africa is now actively developing. To achieve this, they proposed limiting access to national parks. The Serengeti is not one of them. But travelers today cannot get to the Olduvai Gorge, where traces of ancient people are currently being explored. This was done for the purity of research and the safety of all finds.

Park name

The name of this area means "extended stretch." Here the climate is specific, which contributes to the riot of all forms of life. It also affects the way of life of the inhabitants of the area.

Climate

The Serengeti is generally warm and dry, although there is a rainy season. Here it falls in the spring. In mid-autumn, precipitation is also possible, but it is much less.

During the rainy season, the landscapes are full of flowers and greenery, while during the rest of the season drought gradually sets in. At this time, residents of the National Park begin to migrate to find water to preserve life.

The air temperature here does not fluctuate much - around 15-25˚С. In the Serengeti, the coolest period is June-October, especially in the evening.

Landscape

Serengeti National Park also has different landscapes:

• center - savannas;
• south - meadows;
• west - numerous plains and forests;
• southeast - volcanoes;
• north - forests with hills.

In each part you can find a small river, swamp or lake.

Modern landscapes are very far from the original ones that were here once upon a time, when general form earth's surface formed by volcanic activity. Then a lot of time passed, the elements acted on the earth, thereby creating the current image, which can be appreciated by looking at photos of the Serengeti.

Animals

Special conditions provide the opportunity to develop different types fauna and flora that are dispersed in national parks. Serengeti represents the largest population of its inhabitants:

Among the animals here are:

• Thompson's gazelles (more than 0.5 million);
• (about 2 million);
• zebras (more than 0.25 million);
• elephants;
• giraffes;
• rhinoceroses;
• baboons;
• porcupines and others.

You can also meet other predators:

Famous birds of Africa:

• vultures;
• flamingo;
• storks;
• ostriches.

There are also reptiles:

Animal migration

Travelers to the Serengeti Nature Reserve are attracted by several fragments from the life of wild inhabitants, the main of which is considered great migration ungulates, to be more precise, wildebeest and zebra. Millions of herds of these animals sweep through the picturesque and endless terrain of the Serengeti.

They are followed by those who do not miss any suitable moment for a fruitful hunt. The scavengers, who are an indispensable link in the food chain of these places, are already rushing after them.

A similar migration in the National Park occurs between February and June. At this time, the herds move in a northerly direction, while moving along the eastern part. In September they head back, and reach the south through the western lands until December.

The rainy season forces herbivores to move to the Masai Mara - fresh pastures are located there. If there is no rain, the plains in the north become practically deserts. And this happens all the time - residents of the Serengeti Park (Africa) chase vast distances for food, all the time risking their lives.

Conditions for tourists

The national park has all the conditions for a comfortable stay for tourists. A large number of hotels, campsites and tent camps provide a comfortable stay for visitors. There are restaurants in the park where you can have a tasty, satisfying and inexpensive meal. A great time to visit this park is during the dry season. Then tourists can see with their own eyes how the life of predators goes. During wet season there is an opportunity to see how the migration of herds of ungulates takes place.

It is worth noting that a visit to the Serengeti will not leave anyone indifferent and will provide even the most experienced tourists with emotions for a long time.
