Overview

Serengeti National Park in this Tanzania

Serengeti National Park is the second largest National Park in Tanzania after Ruaha NP. The park covers an area of 14,750 square kilometers of grassland plains, savanna, riverine forest, and woodlands. The park lies in northwestern Tanzania, 320 km from Arusha bordered to the north by the Kenyan border, where it is continuous with the Maasai Mara National Reserve. To the southeast of the park is the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, to the southwest lies Maswa Game Reserve, to the west are the Ikorongo and Grumeti Game Reserves, and to the northeast and east lies the Loliondo Game Control Area. Together, these areas form the larger Serengeti ecosystem. Serengeti was declared as a protected area in 1921 and gazetted as a National park in 1951. Serengeti is the oldest National Park in Tanzania and one of the most famous wildlife sanctuaries in the world.

The park is well known for its abundance of wildlife and high biodiversity. The migratory and some resident wildebeest, which number over 2 million individuals, constitute the largest population of big mammals that still roam the planet. They are joined in their journey through the Serengeti to Mara ecosystem by 250,000 plains zebra, 500,000 Thomson's and Grant's gazelle, and tens of thousands of topi and Coke's hartebeest. Maasai giraffe, waterbuck, impala, warthog and hippo are also abundant. Some rarely seen species of antelope are also present in Serengeti National Park, such as common eland, klipspringer, roan antelope, bushbuck, lesser kudu, fringe-eared Oryx and dik dik.
