has a diameter of 17-21 kilometers and is the home of a great animal kingdom. Nearly all the
biodiversity of the East African savannah is gathered here, only giraffes and a few other animal
species for which the rock faces are too steep do not live in the crater. Depending on the season,
15,000 to 25,000 animals are gathered here, more than two thirds are buffaloes, gnus, zebras and
gazelles. This large number of grazers also explains why the crater contains the largest density of
predators in Africa. Beside other predators, more than 100 lions live here in several prides. The
chances of watching the "Big Five" lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard within just a few hours are

Conservation Area and the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, the Serengeti National Park is
one of the largest natural migration systems for wild animals. Annualy between the three mentioned
conservation areas migrate over 1.4 million gnus, almost 300,000 Thomson´s gazelles, about 200,000
zebras and several thousand topis with the rainy seasons to the areas with the greener and lush
meadows. With about 3 million larger mammals, the Serengeti is the national park with the richest
wildlife worldwide. Around two-thirds make up the above-mentioned animal species, furthermore the
park is the home to many other animal species, such as giraffe, buffalo, hyena, elephant or crocodile.
