The establishment of comprehensive, clear and enforceable guidelines and mechanisms that<br />
will ensure the well-being of <strong>Serengeti</strong>’s wildlife and the maintenance of key habitats; at the<br />
same time providing a high level of visitor satisfaction and safety, are a high priority of this<br />
GMP. In order to meet this management target, the following management actions have<br />
been formulated:<br />
Action 1.1.1: Implement zonal and park-wide prescriptions to regulate visitor use<br />
and impact<br />
Under this GMP, the Zoning Scheme for the <strong>Serengeti</strong> has been updated and consolidated<br />
from the previous management plans (see Figure B.5). Prescriptions have been formulated<br />
for these revised zones providing guidance to SENAPA and park users of acceptable types<br />
and levels of use and impact. The permissible activities as well as the specific use and infrastructure<br />
prescriptions are listed in Table D.1 over page.<br />
In the High and Low Use Zones, game viewing by vehicles will be the main visitor activity<br />
permitted, with driving restricted to designated roads and tracks. However, SENAPA will assess<br />
implementing a pilot scheme for permitting off-road driving for specific seasons in designated<br />
areas within the Low Use Zone (see Action 1.2.5). Certain non-vehicle based activities<br />
will be permitted in the High and Low Use Zones, including short guided trail walks and<br />
“tourism sinks”, as defined and described under Action 1.2.1.<br />
