Wildlife Waterhole - Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Grasslands and acacia trees surround this waterhole in Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania, where zebras, wildebeest, giraffes and elephants come down to drink and lions are never far away.

The park covers about 5,700 square miles (14,763 sq km) and was established in 1940. In 1981 it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its name is often said to come from a Maasai word meaning "endless plains."

Every year more than 1.5 million wildebeest, along with about 250,000 zebras and hundreds of thousands of gazelles, follow the rains across the plains in the Great Migration, the largest land animal migration on Earth.

Did You Know? In 1959, Bernhard Grzimek and his son Michael made the film Serengeti Shall Not Die, which won an Oscar and helped make the park famous.
