Serengeti National Park

Witness the Great Migration in Tanzania

Welcome to Serengeti National Park

Endless Plains, Timeless Wonders

A symbol of untamed Africa, Serengeti National Park is Tanzania’s most celebrated wildlife sanctuary and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Known for its endless golden plains, abundant wildlife, and the world-famous Great Migration, Serengeti is a must-visit for any safari enthusiast.

Spanning over 14,750 square kilometers, this iconic park is home to over 2 million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and the Big Five—lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhino.

The Great Migration: Nature’s Greatest Show

Every year, the Serengeti hosts the Great Migration, where over 1.5 million wildebeest and zebras move in a continuous circle through the ecosystem in search of fresh grazing. This dramatic event includes river crossings, predator chases, and newborn calves, offering unforgettable scenes of survival and wonder.

The Mara River crossings, typically seen from July to October, are among the most dramatic and sought-after safari experiences in the world.
