Serengeti National Park
The Land of Endless Plains and Epic Wildlife Sagas.
Welcome to Africa's Premier Safari Destination
The Serengeti, whose name in the Maasai language means "endless plains," is more than just a national park; it is a world-renowned icon of African wilderness and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Covering nearly 15,000 square kilometers, its vast, sun-kissed savanna is home to an astonishing concentration of wildlife, making a Serengeti National Park safari a truly life-changing experience. This is where nature's grandest spectacles unfold daily.
The park is most famous for being the stage for the Great Wildebeest Migration, an annual phenomenon where over two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle traverse the plains in search of fresh grazing and water. This epic journey is fraught with peril, attracting a host of predators and creating unparalleled opportunities for dramatic wildlife viewing. Beyond the migration, the Serengeti offers a guaranteed Big Five safari experience, with healthy populations of lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos, and the elusive black rhino. Join us to explore this legendary landscape and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Serengeti National Park FAQs
The migration is a year-round event, but key moments include the calving season in the Southern Serengeti (January-March), and the dramatic river crossings of the Grumeti and Mara Rivers in the Western and Northern Serengeti (June-October). Your itinerary can be tailored to the herds' location.
We recommend a minimum of three to four days to fully appreciate the vastness of the park and increase your chances of witnessing diverse wildlife behavior. This allows time to explore different regions, such as the Seronera Valley, and follow the migration.
Yes! The Serengeti is an excellent place to see four of the Big Five: lions, leopards, elephants, and buffalos. While black rhinos are present, they are critically endangered and very elusive. For the best chance of seeing a rhino, we recommend combining your Serengeti safari with a visit to the nearby Ngorongoro Crater.
Kopjes (pronounced "copies") are ancient rocky outcrops that rise from the plains like islands in a sea of grass. These unique geological formations create their own micro-ecosystem and are famous spots for lions, leopards, and cheetahs to rest and scan the plains for prey.
A hot air balloon safari is a truly magical and highly recommended experience. Floating silently above the Serengeti at sunrise provides a unique perspective of the landscape and its wildlife that you cannot get from a vehicle. It's a peaceful and breathtaking adventure, typically followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush.
