Serengeti National Park
Witness the Great Migration, Encounter the Big Five, and Experience Africa’s Most Iconic Safari Destination
Overview
Serengeti National Park is the jewel of Tanzania’s wildlife parks and one of the most celebrated safari destinations in the world. Spanning over 14,750 square kilometers, its name means “endless plains” in the Maasai language, and it lives up to its name with vast, golden savannahs stretching as far as the eye can see. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Serengeti boasts unparalleled biodiversity, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic African safari experience.

- The Big Five: The park offers exceptional opportunities to see lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo in their natural habitat.
- Diverse Landscapes: Beyond its grassy plains, the Serengeti features rocky kopjes, acacia woodlands, and seasonal wetlands, each hosting unique wildlife.
