The beautiful African country home to the world's 'best' sunset with giraffes and buffalos

Imagine watching the sun go down with its hues of oranges, reds and pinks rhythmed by the passing of buffalos, elephants and giraffes passing in front of it. The buffalos lumber slowly, elephants are gently swaying and giraffes glide across the horizon, their long necks casting elegant shadows all in a profound silence, only broken by the gentle calls of birds and the occasional rustle in the grass. There is a place in where you can experience just that.

Gap360 named the sunset in Tanzania's as one of the very best in the entire world thanks to this formidable spectacle featuring special guests like lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalos. You can even take a hot air balloon and take the view in from above.

The Serengeti National Park is a World Heritage Site with over two million animals, including 4000 lions, 1000 leopards, 550 cheetahs and more than 500 bird species.

From the Maasai world which means "endless plain", the Serengeti covers an area of over 5791 square miles and is known to be one of the best safari destinations in the world.

It is also one of the oldest and least disturbed ecosystems on the planet and is thought to hold the largest lion population in the entire continent.

The Sergenti was proclaimed a national park in 1951 and features grasslands, rivers, volcanic formations and ancient rocks as well as zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, hyenas, ostriches, vultures, eagles, crocodiles, pythons, and puff adders.

However, the WWF has said that a significant threat to the wildlife in the park is the illegal wildlife trade, with elephants and rhinos being illegally poached for their tusks and horns.

Serengeti ecosystem is also said to be under severe threat from climate change, with rising temperatures, intense droughts, and erratic rainfall and floods devastating wildlife and disrupting the famed Great Migration.

Scientists have warned that these extreme conditions are harming biodiversity while also jeopardising tourism, a vital source of income for the local communities.

Anthony R. E. Sinclair, Professor Emeritus, University of British Columbia told Serengeti Watch: "Most of the area outside the [Serengeti] has been lost to cultivation, and a large proportion of the area inside the Park has been significantly altered by poaching. Some 40% of the natural ecosystem has been lost.

"This has occurred through the expansion of the human population. Today, there is no sign this loss is abating and it may be accelerating."
