Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park is Tanzania’s most famous wildlife destination and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned worldwide for its breathtaking landscapes and unrivaled game viewing. Covering nearly 15,000 square kilometers of endless plains, acacia woodlands, and riverine forests, the Serengeti embodies the very essence of an African safari. The park is most famous for hosting the Great Wildebeest Migration, one of nature’s most extraordinary spectacles. Each year, over 1.5 million wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles migrate across the Serengeti in search of fresh grazing, braving crocodile-filled rivers and predators along the way. Witnessing this phenomenon is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any traveler. Beyond the migration, the Serengeti is a haven for the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos, and rhinos. With the highest concentration of lions in Africa and excellent chances of spotting cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, hippos, and over 500 species of birds, every game drive promises unforgettable encounters with wildlife. The Serengeti is a year-round safari destination, though the best time to visit depends on which part of the migration you’d like to witness. From December to March, the southern plains host the calving season, while June to October offers thrilling river crossings in the northern Serengeti. With its stunning scenery, extraordinary wildlife, and epic migration, Serengeti National Park stands as the crown jewel of Tanzania’s safari circuit and one of the world’s greatest natural wonders.
