The Serengeti habitat, of an abundance of wildlife such as impala, buffalo, crocodile, and hippo, is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebra and wildebeest. The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and year to year. In November and December, the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and savannah covered to the endless plains of the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return to the north, passing the western corridor of the Serengeti ( Kirawira Area ).
