DAR ES SALAAM, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) -- Tanzania's Mara regional authorities said on Saturday plans are underway to construct a 33 kilometers fence to control wild animals from raiding five villages in the Serengeti district in the region.

Suleiman Mzee, the Mara regional commissioner, said the fence will protect the villages from frequent raids by wild animals, chiefly elephants, from the Serengeti National Park, world-renowned for its abundance of animals and the great wildebeest migration, and other game reserves.
