Serengeti National Park - Serengeti National Park
It was registered as a World Heritage Site (natural heritage) in 1981. It is a national park established for the purpose of nature conservation in the vast savannah that spreads at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro in northern Tanzania. Serengeti means "endless plain" in Masai, and the area of ​​this national park is 14,763 km2 . It is estimated that about 3 million animals, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, African elephants, buffalo, impala, giraffes, zebras, gazelles, and antelopes, live on the grasslands. Due to the typical savanna climate, there are rainy and dry seasons, and the wildebeests migrate to the Masai Mara National Reserve on the Kenyan side during the dry season and return there during the rainy season, repeating this cycle every year. Along with this, lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas also migrate. The great migration of these wildebeests is the biggest spectacle of the Serengeti. ◇English name: Serengeti National Park

Japanese:
1981年に登録された世界遺産(自然遺産)。タンザニア北部、キリマンジャロの裾野に広がる広大なサバンナで、自然保護を目的に設立された国立公園である。セレンゲティはマサイ語で「果てしなく広がる平原」という意味で、この国立公園の面積は1万4763km2。草原には、ライオン、チーター、ヒョウ、アフリカゾウ、バッファロー、インパラ、キリン、シマウマ、ガゼル、アンテロープなどさまざまな動物が、約300万頭生息していると推定されている。典型的なサバンナ気候のため雨期と乾期があり、ヌーの群れは、乾期になるとケニア側のマサイ・マラ国立保護区へ移動し、雨期にはここに戻ってくる生活を毎年繰り返している。これに伴い、ライオン、チーター、ヒョウ、ハイエナなども移動する。このヌーの群れの大移動はセレンゲティの最大の見物になっている。◇英名はSerengeti National Park
