Serengeti National Park

Tanzania Safari Destination

The Magnificent Serengeti: Africa's Iconic Wildlife Sanctuary

DESTINATION OVERVIEW

Serengeti National Park is Africa’s most famous safari adventure destination, renowned for its diverse wildlife and stunning natural beauty. The annual Wildebeest Migration, the primary attraction of any visit to this park, typically occurs between June and September. This migration involves hundreds of thousands of wildebeests and zebras moving from the calving area of Ndutu to Masai Mara in southern Kenya. The high drama of a river crossing at Grumeti River or Mara River is a sight to behold, adding to the excitement of this fantastic wildlife phenomenon.

What to Expect


Early morning game drives or hot air balloon safaris offer the best chance to spot predators while they are hunting. Another highlight of the Serengeti is Lake Natron, known for its volcanic landscape and the world-famous pink flamingos that call its waters home yearly. From this vantage point, you can even glimpse the active volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai and consider embarking on a trek to the summit.

The Serengeti National Park is renowned for the Great Wildebeest Migration, a breathtaking spectacle that sees over 2 million animals migrating north into the Masai Mara and returning to the Ngorongoro crater region within a season.

However, the park is not just a one-season wonder. It offers fantastic wildlife adventure and game drives all year round, ensuring your visit will be filled with thrilling encounters. The park is the perfect spot in East Africa to see lions and leopards in their natural habitat, and it is also home to the entire Big Five, providing a reassurance of unforgettable wildlife experiences.

The vastness of Serengeti National Park offers many wildlife experiences, with campsites and Four Seasons luxury accommodation options. When planning a visit, it’s crucial to grasp the park’s sheer size, often divided into East, West, North, South, and Central.

Serengeti National Park offers a unique game drive experience, with some areas privileged to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration more than others. The park’s variety ensures an exciting experience that captures your interest and makes you yearn for more.
