Serengeti National Park
About
Serengeti National Park is Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife destination and one of the world’s greatest safari landscapes. Covering approximately 14,750 square kilometers of protected wilderness, the park is renowned for its vast open plains, extraordinary biodiversity, and unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities.
The Serengeti is best known for the Great Wildebeest Migration, one of the largest terrestrial animal movements on Earth. Each year, more than two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse the ecosystem in search of fresh grazing, creating dramatic scenes of river crossings and predator-prey interactions. The park also supports one of Africa’s highest concentrations of predators, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and crocodiles.
Beyond the migration, the Serengeti's diverse habitats range from endless golden savannahs and acacia woodlands to rocky granite outcrops known as kopjes, riverine forests, and seasonal wetlands. These varied ecosystems support an abundance of wildlife, including elephants, buffalo, giraffes, hippos, and numerous antelope species.
The park is also a paradise for bird enthusiasts, with more than 500 recorded bird species. Visitors can further enhance their safari experience with a sunrise hot-air balloon flight, offering breathtaking aerial views of the plains and wildlife below.
Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Serengeti remains one of Africa’s most celebrated safari destinations, offering an unrivaled combination of spectacular landscapes, abundant wildlife, and unforgettable natural phenomena.
Highlights
The absolute crown jewel of the Serengeti is the annual, clockwise movement of over 1.5 million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles across the ecosystem.
The "Big Five": Lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and black rhinos can all be found within the park.
Kopjes: These ancient, massive granite outcrops rise dramatically from the plains. They act as the perfect vantage points and resting spots for lions, leopards, and cheetahs.
Central Serengeti (Seronera): The beating heart of the park, known for its year-round game viewing, high concentrations of leopards, and the main visitor center.
Western Corridor & Grumeti River: Dominated by riverine forests and the Grumeti River, famous for its giant crocodiles.
Hot Air Balloon Safaris: Available in various regions, allowing you to soar over the endless plains at sunrise and enjoy a champagne breakfast in the bush.
