Hifadhi ya Maswa iko upande wa mashariki-magharibi mwa mpaka wa Buga ya Taifa ya Serengeti. Hifadhi ya Maswa in kimbilio la wanyama wa kati wa kiangazi kutoka Serengeti ilikujipatia maji yaliyo kwenye vilindi. Wanyama wa pori huhamia Maswa mnamo majira ya Januari na Februari ili kujipatia nyasi laini baada ya mvua za vuli. Mito ya Simiyu, Mbono, Semu, na Kuna huipendezesha hifadhi hii.
Located along the southwestern boundary of the Serengeti National Park, Maswa is a dry season refuge for many of the Serengeti animals seeking water in the springs and pools formed in the sand rivers in the area. The wildebeest migration passes through Maswa in January and February, feeding on the new growth of grass that appears after the short rains. The Simiyu, Mbono, Semu and Kuna rivers form the main drainage courses, and are lined with thorn thickets, yellow barked acacia and wild fig trees. Much of the land between the rivers is thorn scrub and acacia woodland, but in places it opens up to grassland. Maswa contains impressive populations of buffalo, Robert's gazelle, lion, roan, Cokes hartebeest, East African impala, Thomson gazelle and leopard.
