The Park derives it name from the Masai language. The word “siringet,” which translated as a place where the land runs on, is where the park gets its name.
The Serengeti tour will give you beautiful views to make your safari worthwhile. The endless plains as described by the Masai are home a vast number of wildlife which include the endangered black Rhinos and many others. The plains are mostly savanna lands but have a mixture of woodlands and thickets.
The Serengeti has generally the largest number of herbivores in the region. This is probably due to the fact that it has a very large plain that allows the animals to graze very well. The notable ones include the wildebeests, zebras and gazelles. With this number of herbivores, the predators also thrive here as they have a lot of prey to survive on. They keep following the animals the entire time even during the calving and migration season.
There are a variety of birds that thrive here with this good ecosystem. Some of the other wild life to look out for is: Giraffes, Lions, Leopards, Warthogs, Hippos, cheetas and many other cats. There are large herds of Elephants and Buffalos.
