HISTORY OF SERENGETI

The park was established in 1951 and covers wide plains of the grassland range in Tanzania, as well as extensive acacia woodland and savannah land. It was initially named “siringet”, to mean the land of endless plains in the Maasai language.

The Park was divided into different sections. The popular central part famous as Seronera valley is what the Maasai called the “siringet”, the land of endless plains. It’s classic savannah, dotted with acacias and filled with wildlife. The western corridor is marked by the Grumeti river and has more forests and dense bushes. The north, Lobo area, which meets up with Kenya’s Masai Mara Reserve, is the least visited section.

The iconic Serengeti is home to the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth. The great migration of wildebeest and zebras. The resident population of lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and birds is also impressive. There’s a wide variety of accommodation available, from luxury lodges to mobile camps.
