The Serengeti proves a very different safari experience from the Mara. The Serengeti is enormous, about the size of the state of Connecticut, and its defining feature becomes space. The plains seem to stretch forever, broken occasionally by rocky kopjes, acacia trees, patches of woodland and low hills.
There is a feeling that the landscape goes on beyond what you can see. The park represents part of an ecosystem of roughly 13,514 square miles, with the national park itself covering about 5,700 square miles.
