The Serengeti region encompasses grasslands and plains, rivers and forest, active volcanoes and rocky outcroppings known as kopjes. The entire ecosystem stretches across more than 6 million acres and is home to some of the largest grazing herds in the world. Protected areas offering a refuge for wildlife include Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Maswa Game Reserve and the Loliondo, Grumeti and Ikorongo Controlled Areas as well as Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve.
