Serengeti National Park is one of the most famous wildlife destinations on Earth. Located in northern Tanzania, it spans vast plains filled with diverse wildlife ecosystems.
The park is world-renowned for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move across the plains in search of fresh grazing land.
It offers one of the most complete safari experiences in Africa with year-round wildlife viewing.
Wildlife & The Big Five
Serengeti hosts the Big Five: lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhino. It also has one of the highest predator densities in Africa.
Lions dominate the plains, cheetahs hunt in open grasslands, and leopards hide in riverine forests.
The ecosystem supports over 1.5 million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebras and antelopes.
The Great Migration
The Great Migration is one of the most spectacular wildlife events in the world.
It involves massive herds moving in a circular route between Tanzania and Kenya.
River crossings at the Mara River are the most dramatic moments, where crocodiles ambush migrating herds.
