The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania was established in
1952. It is home to the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth - the great
migration of wildebeest and zebra. The resident population of lion, cheetah,
elephant, giraffe, and birds is also impressive. There's a wide variety of
accommodation available, from luxury lodges to mobile camps. The park covers
5,700 sq miles, (14,763 sq km), it's larger than Connecticut, with at most a
couple hundred vehicles driving around.
The Park can be divided into 3 sections. The popular
southern/central part (Seronera Valley), is what the Maasai called the
"serengit", 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 bush. The north, Lobo area, meets up with
Kenya's Masai Mara Reserve, is the least visited section
