What does Serengeti mean?

The word "Serengeti" has its origins in the Maasai language and is thought to mean "the place where the land runs forever".

Here's a breakdown:

* "Se": This part signifies "place".

* "Re": This signifies "to spread out" or "to run forever".

* "Ngeti": This refers to "endless plains".

So, when put together, Serengeti means "the place where the land runs forever", referring to the vast, open plains of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.
