The best thing about Serengeti National Park is that it has been surrounded by more scenic wonders and areas which you can see during the Tanzania Safari. Serengeti is bordered by Kenya’s Massai Mara but doesn’t have any borders between them so that animals can migrate freely. Some other places like the Great Mount Kilimanjaro also can be seen if you go a bit more to the surrounding of the Serengeti as well as Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area can also be seen along with this park.

e) Can Be Combined With Ngorongoro To See The Big Five

Serengeti Cons

After viewing the positive part of Serengeti National Park let’s have a glimpse of the cons of the park. If you focus on these properly then you will find that these are not the cons:

a) No wild dogs

African Wild Dogs are one of the endangered species of the earth as well as you cannot find the on the vast plain lands of Serengeti, and there are two reasons behind it:

African Wild Dogs

The lion is the king of the jungle as well as Serengeti National Park having the highest quantity of them so it also takes responsibility for the whole jungle so that the natural balance and food cycle can be maintained. But the wild dogs always try to hunt the animals without controlling their hunger. As well as they kill as much as it can and lions prevent it from doing this resulting in leaving the area of Serengeti.

In ancient times scientists use to research these animals so they tie a collar band on their neck which weakens their immune system. As a result of which they are getting infected by various diseases and decreasing in their number.

b) The Migration Is Tricky And Animals Don’t Keep To A Schedule. It Could Be Disappointing If The Herds Are Early Or Late In Their Migration.

The best time to have the Great Wildebeest Migration Safari is during the rainy from November to January. The wildebeest migrates following the rain so if they can’t sense the rain at the particular time of the year then there are chances that you cannot witness this great event.
