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 home to the wildebeests that 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 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 .

Sun-downers in the Serengeti National Park is a very necessary part of the safari. To sit in the quiet sipping drink while watching the sun go down can be so relaxing. This experience date’s way back in the 1920s as back then cocktails would be serve in the bush with an evening back drop of the setting sun.
