Serengeti National Park

Explore Serengeti National Park, home to the Great Migration, Big Five wildlife, and iconic African safari landscapes.

Overview

Serengeti National Park is Tanzania’s most iconic safari destination and one of the world’s greatest wildlife sanctuaries. Renowned for its vast open plains and extraordinary concentrations of wildlife, the Serengeti delivers an authentic and unforgettable African safari experience.

The park is most famous for the Great Wildebeest Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move across the plains in search of fresh grazing. Beyond the migration, the Serengeti offers exceptional year-round game viewing, dramatic landscapes, and thriving predator populations, making it a centrepiece of any Tanzania safari.
