The name “serengeti” comes from the Maasai word siringet, which means “endless plains”. It is Tanzania’s oldest park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for the world’s largest annual animal migration, featuring over 1.5 million wildebeest and 250,000 zebras, and providing great wildlife viewing throughout the year.
