Serengeti National Park
The name Serengeti comes from the Maasai word “Siringet” referring to an “endless plains”. As you stand on the southern grass plains, you can witness one of the greatest concentrations of plain animals left on earth. The plains were formed 3-4 million years ago when ash blown from volcanoes in the Ngorongoro highlands covered the rolling landscape.
The Serengeti truly boasts some amazing wildlife numbers. Some staggering numbers: more than 500 species of birds and 300 species of mammals (of which 80 large mammals) call the plains of Serengeti home.
