The Serengeti is a world famous ecosystem in East-Central Africa, located in north 4100 Tanzania, and extending to southwestern Kenya. Its area is as vast as 30,000 square kilometres, giving rise to its name which means ‘endless plains’ in the Maasai language.
Much of the Serengeti was known to outsiders as Maasai land. The Maasai are known as fierce warriors.
The most important part of the Serengeti is the national park in it with the same name that is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. There are as well a number of other protected reserves and conservation areas in this region as well, like the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
However, the spot is most famous for having the largest mammal migration in the world and, is a popular destination of African safaris.
Some of the most commonly found mammals in Serengeti include gazelles, zebras, African buffaloes, waterbucks etc.
