The Serengeti National Park covers 14 763 sq. km and its name means "endless plain". The park is most famous for its spectacular concentration of wildlife and  yearly migration of wildebeest, zebras and other animals. Each year over one million wildebeest, 200 000 zebras and 300 000 Thompson gazelles follow the rains and migrate to new feeding areas. More than 8 000 wildebeest calves are born before the annual migration starts. One can enjoy a spectacular hot air balloon ride over the plains on an early morning in Serengeti.
