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.
1 Although wildlife is easier to spot in the dry season, the Serengeti offers good game viewing throughout the year. 2  Migratory birds are present and birdwatching is at its best.  Except for March, April and May, rains are mostly short afternoon storms and seldom interfere with your trip.
