  the path of the worlds largest movement path,
  covers nearly 15,000 square kilometers.

• Serengeti Regions Explained
• The National Park is generally divided into three
  different areas
• The Seronera Valley and Seronera River, the
  Western Corridor and the Northern Lobo area that
  extends northwards through the Lamai Wedge to the
  Maasai Mara.
• Central Serengeti Seronera Valley
• Most visitors enter the Serengeti through the
  southern Naabi Hill Gate, which opens onto the
  Seronera Valley.
• This is the region in which the movement usually
  calves in March each year. The Seronera region is
  mainly wide open grassy plains and rock kopjes.
  All other areas of the Serengeti are more
  seasonal and much of the time wildlife viewing is
  dependent on the path of the migration
  (movement).

• Serengeti The Western Corridor
• This follows the path of the Grumeti River up
  towards Lake Victoria. This region provides
  outstanding wildlife viewing action.
• Serengeti The Northern Reaches
• The Northern reaches of the Serengeti remain
  fantastically quiet and unvisited, due to their
  relative reserve
• Serengeti Lodges
• Dunia Camp

• The Serengeti history
• Much of the Serengeti was known to outsiders as
  Maasailand.
• The Maasai were known as fierce warriors, and
  lived beside the wildest animals.
• A rinderpest epidemic and drought during the
  1890s greatly reduced the numbers of both Maasai
  and animal populations.
• Poaching and the absence of fires, which had
  been the result of human activity, set the stage
  for the development of thick woodlands and
  thickets over the next 3050 years.
• Fire, elephants, and wildebeest were important in
  determining the current character of the
  Serengeti
• Heavy rainfall encouraged the growth of grass,
  which served as fuel for the fires during the
  following dry seasons.
• . Initially elephants, which feed on both young
  and old trees, had been blamed for the shrinking
  woodlands. But experiments showed that other
  factors were more important. Meanwhile, elephant
  populations were reduced from 2,460 in 1970 to
  467 in 1986 by poaching.
