Full text article available at https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2028.2007.00818.xThe study was conducted in the SNP, Tanzania (14,763 km 2) from May 2001 to April 2002. Data were obtained in the western corridor (the relatively narrow, westerly extension of the park) and central areas (the main tourist area in the park around Seronera). Villages immediately bordered the southern boundary of the western corridor. In contrast, the nearest village was about 50 km from the central area. In the western corridor, there is a substantial amount of illegal hunting (Hofer et al., 1996; Loibooki et al., 2002) and illegal grazing carried out by villagers bordering the protected areas (Nyahongo et al., 2006)enSerengeti National ParkNational ParkTanzaniaHerbivoresSNPWestern corridorSeroneraTourism SerengetiArticle
