The Park derives its name from the Masai people. The word “siringet,” which translated as a place where the land runs on, is where the park gets its name.
The park covers an area of about 14,763 square Kilometers. Making it one of the biggest parks in Tanzania as well. The endless plains are home to the wildebeests. They are highly sought after animals during their calving season and migrating season. The park is a continuation of the Masai Mara game reserve in Kenya. This makes it easy for the wildebeest to move to Kenya in the dry season in search of water and greener grass.
Watching the wildebeest generally move thousands of Kilometers as they make their way from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara is such a spectacular experience. Everyone should have a chance to witness. The gazelles and Zebras are another group of animals that are work watching. They move together with the millions of wildebeest to cross from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara
The Barafu Gorge and Kopjes
The safari to the Barafu Gorge and Kopjes basically is rewarded with one of the most extraordinary travelers in Serengeti.
Barafu Gorge dissects the remote eastern plains. Rising above the gorge is the Barafu Kopjes Complex.
A series of seven pinkish granite kopjes that straddle the eastern border of the Serengeti.
The word Serengeti originates from the Maasai word ‘Siringit’, meaning ‘endless plains’, and the area around Barafu best exemplifies this with mind blowing 360 degree views of rolling plains peppered with tens of thousands of gazelles.
