The Serengeti National Park was originally inhabited by the Masai people who used to use these as graze grounds. 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 as described by the Masai are basically home to the wildebeests that are highly sought after animals during their calving season and migrating season. The park is generally 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 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 .
