Serengeti is known as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa, and it includes over 30,000 sq. km (12,000 sqm) of land that spans across territory in two countries. It has been, for ages, a sparsely inhabited region of Tanzania until the 20th century when it was mostly populated by animals. By the early 1900s, the Maasai people started migrating to the area, and so the name “Serengeti” allegedly comes from the Massai language, which means “endless plains”. The region is known for its lion population, although over 70 large mammals and over 500 bird species can also be found here. It is among the biggest conservation areas in the world and arguably one of the best places to witness animals in their natural habitat. If you’re looking for a unique holiday vacation in Africa, consider staying amid nature. Check out the top safari lodges in Serengeti, Tanzania.
