This World UNESCO heritage site covers an area of 5,700 square miles of some of the most diverse and amazing grassland ranges in Africa dotted with acacia trees. It is home to millions of Wildebeests, thousands of zebras and gazelles, hundreds of other ungulates, elephants, a good number of predators including lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, jackals, large Nile crocodiles in the Grumeti River and hundreds of different species of birds. Each region in the Serengeti offers unique wildlife adventure experiences and landscapes.
The park covers an area of about 14,763 square Kilometers making it one of the biggest parks in Tanzania as well. The park is a continuation o the Masai Mara game reserve in Kenya and this makes it easy for the wildebeest to move to Kenya in the dry season in search of water and greener grass.

- The Western Region and Grumeti

The Eastern Region of Serengeti
The Eastern Region of Serengeti is also relatively remote thus not often visited. Its located East of the Grumeti River going through the Lobo area under the Gol mountains. The region offers breathtaking views which are characterized by granite kopjes, acacia woodlands and open grasslands. It also prides in its big cat population of leopards, lions and cheetahs which are always here waiting on the arrival of the wildebeests, antelopes and gazelles from the Great Migration as they come back from Masai Mara in Kenya.
Best time to visit this area is around the months of October and November when the migrants are moving in. Lots of wildlife to spot in this area during that time.
Each of the sectors / regions in the Serengeti has something unique about it to offer from diversity of the wildlife and different ecosystems, picturesque landscapes and different nature features. This makes it a captivating African destination worth visiting for all wildlife and nature lovers.
