Specifically, the word is a feminine noun in its singular form. The same may be said for the Italian nâ¦oun nona (ninth), which also may function as a feminine singular adjective according to context. The pronunciation will be NON-na in terms of the person and NO-na in terms of the musical/numerical term.
The name Serengeti is an approximation of the word used by the Maasai to describe the area, siringet, which means the place where the land runs on forever. The first Briton to enter the Serengeti, Stewart Edward White, recorded his explorations in the northern Serengeti in 1913.
The Serengeti (/ËsÉrÉnËÉ¡Éti/) ecosystem is a geographical region in Africa. It is located mainly in northern Tanzania and extends into south-western Kenya between 1 and 3 degrees south (latitudes) and between 34 and 36 degrees east (longitudes). It spans approximately 30,000 km2 (12,000 sq mi). The Kenyan part of the Serengeti is known as Maasai Mara. The Serengeti hosts the largest terrestrial mammal migration in the world, which helps secure it as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and one of the ten natural travel wonders of the world.
