The Serengeti-Mara ecosystem encompasses several protected areas like the Serengeti national park, the Mara national reserve in Kenya, and a number of game reserves and conservation areas (Ngorongoro) that surround the area.

The park is located in northern Tanzania and is mainly known for the presence of large elephant concentrations, birds, and an abundance of baobab trees. Tarangire is the sixth-largest national park in Tanzania.

There are more breeding species of birds found in the park than anywhere else on the planet thus making it to be a paradise for birders.
