There is good reason why Jane Serraungedi has become the filming location for so many wildlife documentaries. Visitors are almost certain to see a wide variety of amazing wildlife.
Serengeti is home to an astonishing number of animals, including 8,500 giraffes, 10,000 antelopes, 200,000 zebras, 1.3 million wildebeests, 1,500 lions, 1,000 elephants, 280,000 Thomsons gazelles, 25,000 water buffalo, 500 species of birds, 72,000 kudus and 32,000 Gerstens.
The annual wildebeest migration stands as one of the worlds most spectacular and awe-inspiring natural spectacles. From Kenyas Serengeti to the Maasai Mara, over 1.4 million wildebeests, along with 200,000 zebras and antelopes, embark on an annual 1,800-mile clockwise journey to seek rain-fed grasslands. This massive migration proves so extensive that even during the peak migration season from August to November when wildebeest are expected to gather in Kenyas Maasai Mara, Serengeti remains teeming with wildlife. The "local residents" choose to stay put rather than join the main herds march.
Note that the Serengeti is still rich in wildlife even between August and November (roughly the period most wildebeests are expected to spend in the Maasai Mara), as "resident" animals choose to stay where they are rather than follow migratory herds.
