Central Serengeti
The area known as the Serengeti became a protected area in 1929. In 1951, the boundaries of the national park were established. The park was declared a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 1981and became part of the world natural heritage. The name of the park is derived from the Maasai word serengit, which means endless plains. The central part of the Serengeti is called Seronera. It consists of forested valleys and savannas around the tributaries of the Grumeti River. It is the most popular part for safari visitors, there are lots of trails and paths, accommodation and obviously lots of game. Migrating herbivores appear here from around February and continue north in April. Over 70 species of larger mammals and around 500 species of birds live in the park (there are more of them only in Tarangire National Park).
We recommend visiting the Central Serengeti for at least two nights, so that you have the opportunity to spend a whole day in the endless savanna, enjoying the incredible nature with lots of wildlife.
