The Serengeti National Park is Tanzania's most famous wildlife destination and home to the world's most spectacular natural event - the Great Migration. Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeest and 200,000 zebras thunder across these endless plains in an ancient journey following the rains. This UNESCO World Heritage Site covers 14,750 square kilometers of pristine African savanna where lions rule, cheetahs sprint, and elephants roam free under endless skies.
The name Serengeti comes from the Maasai word "siringet," meaning endless plains. One look at the vast grasslands stretching to the horizon and you'll understand why. This is the Africa of your dreams - where predators and prey play out nature's oldest drama against backdrops of acacia trees and golden sunsets.
From December to July, witness the greatest wildlife spectacle on Earth as massive herds move in an eternal circle between Tanzania and Kenya. Watch dramatic river crossings where crocodiles wait in the Mara River. See thousands of calves born during the February calving season. Experience the raw power of nature in one of the world's last great wilderness areas.
The Serengeti isn't just about the migration. This ecosystem supports the largest populations of lions and cheetahs in Africa. Leopards rest in kopjes - ancient rock formations that dot the plains like islands. Elephants march across the savanna in family groups while giraffes browse acacia trees against painted African skies
