The untouched wilderness of the Grumeti Reserve is located in northern Tanzania and forms part of the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem, on the western corridor of the Serengeti National Park - Africa's No. 1 World Heritage Site. The word 'Serengeti' comes from the Masai word 'Siringit', which means 'the place where the land stretches to forever."
The famous Great Migration, since time immemorial has been the dramatic backbone of this enormous wilderness, when an annual trek of 2 million animals pass through the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. The successes of conservation as well as diverse habitats have ensured that, since its inception in 2003, the Grumeti Reserve has a well-established resident game population that inhabit the area throughout the year.
For birders, special endemic highlights include the Grey Crested Helmet-shrike, Fischer's Lovebird, Rufus-Tailed Weaver, Karamoja Apalis and the Grey-breasted Spurfowl. They head up an impressive bird list of 400 species on the concession.
