These include wildebeest, Zebra, Gazelle, Buffalo, Eland, Kongoni and warthog. The swamp and forest provide additional resources for these animals. The steep inner slopes provide a habitat for dikdik and the rare mountain reedbuck. Lerai Forest is found in the south west of the crater and it shelters Eland, Elephant, Vervet monkeys, bushbuck, tree hyrax, francoline, saddle-billed stork, vulture and eagle. A picnic site is located in the forest. Lions are abundant in the crater. There are five main crater prides of between 10 and 20 animals, each defending its own territory.

The park features endless rolling plains, and is contiguous with Masai Mara National Park in Kenya. Serengeti is known as one of the best wildlife sanctuary in the world and an estimated 3 million large animals roam the plains. On it its vast, treeless plains are tens of thousands of hoofed animals, constantly on the move in search of fresh grassland. One of the Serengeti’s main attractions is the annual migration of wildebeest herds in search for better grazing.

It now varies from open grass plains in the south, savannah with scattered acacia trees in the centre, hilly, wooded grassland in the north, to extensive woodland and black clay plains to the west. Small rivers, lakes and swamps are scattered throughout. In the south-east rise the great volcanic massifs and craters of the Ngorongoro Highlands.
