Serengeti National Park

The name Serengeti is derived from the Maasai word 'Siringet', meaning 'the place where the land moves on forever'—a description that captures the immense, humbling scale of Tanzania's oldest and most iconic national park. Covering nearly 15,000 square kilometers, this UNESCO World Heritage Site protects the most complex and intact large-mammal ecosystem remaining on our planet.

The centerpiece of the Serengeti is the circular Great Migration, where more than two million wildebeest, zebras, and Thomson's gazelles complete an annual 1,000-kilometer trek in relentless pursuit of fresh sweet grasses. From the calving season in the southern Ndutu plains to dramatic Mara and Grumeti river crossings in the north, the spectacle unfolds across a dramatic year-round calendar.

The Serengeti also boasts Africa’s largest population of wild lions (over 3,000 individuals), alongside thriving numbers of leopards camouflaged in riverine woodlands, cheetahs sprinting across the Seronera plains, elephants, giraffes, and black rhinos. A safari here represents the quintessential African wildlife adventure.
