The Serengeti is located in northern Tanzania and extends northwards from Ngorongoro towards southern Kenya’s Maasai Mara. The region hosts the largest terrestrial mammal migration, although it’s a wonderful place to visit throughout the year, and is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The Serengeti is mostly flat with some gently rolling grasslands, interspersed with the occasional rock outcrops, or kopjes. The southeastern area, in the shadow of Kilimanjaro, is extremely fertile and these are the so-called short grass plains. Much of the region is grass covered (which is the engine for the migration) interspersed with acacias. It is spectacular with the wide skies for which Africa has become synonymous.
