Where Is the Serengeti? Geography, Location and How to Get There
The Serengeti sits in northern Tanzania, in East Africa, straddling the Mara and Simiyu Regions between roughly 1 and 3 degrees south of the equator and 34 to 36 degrees east, bordered by Lake Victoria to the west and continuing north across the international border into Kenya, where the same ecosystem is known as the Maasai Mara.
Serengeti National Park: The Complete Visitor Guide
This Serengeti National Park visitor guide covers what a first-time or returning traveller actually needs to plan a trip with confidence: how the park is organised into zones, which gates and airstrips serve each area, current entry fees, park rules, and how to think about accommodation choice given the park’s scale.
Best Time to Visit the Serengeti
The best time to visit the Serengeti depends entirely on which wildlife event you most want to witness, because the park behaves differently by month in a way that few other safari destinations do.
The Serengeti Ecosystem Explained
The Serengeti ecosystem explained in a single sentence is this: it is not a park, but a rainfall driven system of connected land, roughly 25,000 to 30,000 square kilometres in size, that spans two countries and exists because more than a million grazing animals move constantly in search of grass and water.Serengeti National Park, at 14,763 square kilometres, is the core of that system but not the whole of it.
