The Serengeti's unique ecosystem has inspired a lot of people including writers, filmmakers and numerous photographers and scientists. Its ecosystem is one of the oldest on earth with the features of climate, vegetation and fauna barely changing in the past million years.
It is also famous for its rocky outcrops or kopjes and its lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena sightings. The Park features a number of seasonal rivers where Africa's largest crocodiles are to be found. Birdlife in the Serengeti is prolific, with Yellow throated sandgrouse, ostrich, Secretary bird, Crowned plover and Kori bustard are most frequently seen.
