Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
From series “Largest Nature Reserves on Earth”
One of the world’s largest reserves - the Serengeti reserve - is located in Tanzania and covers an area of 14763 square kilometres. About a century ago the Maasai tribes were the first to settle the deserted territories that were once home to wild animals. With the arrival of Europeans, the Serengeti has become an attractive place for hunters, only in 1951 these territories were identified as a reserve.
Some years ago an event occured in the park that literally shook the world. Archaeologists found traces of ancient human habitation in the course of exploring. The archaeological region was immediately declared a closed zone with no access to some of its parts.
