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 and is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The total area includes the Serengeti National Park (15,000km²) as well as smaller game parks to create a seamless wilderness of more than 28,000 square kilometres. It features 70 large mammals and 500 bird species, and it’s a wonderful place to visit throughout the year.

The region 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.
