Serengeti National Park
Africa's most iconic wildlife arena — endless golden plains teeming with lions, leopards, and over a million wildebeest in the eternal Great Migration.
About Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti is one of the oldest and most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. Spanning 30,000 km² of northern Tanzania, it is home to the Great Migration — the largest terrestrial mammal movement on the planet — and supports the densest concentration of predators anywhere in Africa. Whether you visit for the dramatic Mara River crossings, the vast open savannah, or the sheer scale of the wildlife, the Serengeti delivers a safari experience unlike any other.
