Serengeti National Park is one of the most iconic and celebrated wildlife sanctuaries in the world. Located in northern Tanzania, this UNESCO World Heritage Site spans over 14,750 square kilometers (5,700 square miles) of diverse landscapes, including vast grasslands, acacia woodlands, and rocky outcrops. The name “Serengeti” originates from the Maasai word Siringet, meaning “endless plains,” perfectly describing the park’s breathtaking vistas.
Serengeti is the epicenter of the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles embark on a perilous journey in search of fresh grazing lands. This annual phenomenon, often described as "the greatest wildlife show on Earth," is a must-see for nature lovers. From dramatic river crossings to calving seasons, the migration offers unparalleled opportunities to witness raw, untamed nature.
Serengeti is home to the "Big Five" (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino) and an astonishing variety of other species, including cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, and hippos. With over 500 bird species, it’s also a haven for birdwatchers. Whether you're exploring the endless plains or the Serengeti's famous kopjes (rocky outcrops), you're guaranteed exceptional wildlife encounters.
Serengeti boasts a wide range of ecosystems that support diverse wildlife. The park includes the Seronera Valley, known for year-round game viewing, and the Grumeti and Mara Rivers, famous for their crocodile-filled waters and dramatic migration crossings. Every corner of the Serengeti offers a different aspect of its rich natural beauty.
From hot air balloon safaris that give you a bird’s-eye view of the plains to guided game drives with expert rangers, Serengeti offers unforgettable ways to explore its landscapes. Luxurious lodges, mobile camps, and rustic-tented accommodations ensure every traveller can experience the Serengeti in comfort.
The park is surrounded by Maasai communities who have lived in harmony with nature for generations. Visitors can immerse themselves in Maasai culture through village visits and learn about their unique way of life.
Serengeti National Park is more than a wildlife destination—it’s a place where you can reconnect with the natural world in its purest form. Whether you’re watching a pride of lions lazing in the sun, marvelling at the thunderous sound of the migration, or enjoying a serene sunrise over the savannah, Serengeti promises an experience you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
Plan your visit to Serengeti and be part of an adventure that will leave you in awe of Tanzania’s natural wonders.
