Overview
Lying between Maasai Mara Reserve in Kenya to the north, Ngorongoro Conservation Area to the south-east and extending close to less than 10kms of the shores of Lake Victoria to the west, Serengeti is the third largest National Park in Tanzania covering an area of 14,763sqkm; only Nyerere and Ruaha National Parks in southern Tanzania are bigger with 30,000 and 20,380 square kilometres respectively.
Aptly named endless plains, Siringet in Maasai, you immediately experience this vastness as you enter the southeastern plains of the park from Ngorongoro highlands. Declared a protected area in 1921 and gazetted as a National park in 1951, Serengeti is the oldest National Park in Tanzania and undoubtedly one of the most famous wildlife reserves in the world.
