The migration of approximately 1.5 million wildebeest over the Serengeti to the Masai Mara in Kenya in search of fresh grazing and water is one of Africa’s most famous pictures, and it is the world’s greatest yearly movement of animals.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world flock to northern Tanzania’s Serengeti to see its huge open grasslands, breathtaking wildlife, and rich cultural legacy.
On Monday, it was named Africa’s Leading National Park at the World Travel Awards for the fifth time in a row.

Spread over almost 15 thousand square kilometres, it’s home to the world’s largest populations of lion, wildebeest, zebra, cape eland, hyena, gazelles, and cheetah.
The Serengeti beat off stiff competition from five other parks to take the top award.
The other nominees were the Masai Mara in Kenya, and parks in South Africa, Uganda, Namibia, and Botswana.
