Serengeti National Park.

Serengeti National Park is a world-renowned wildlife sanctuary in Tanzania, famed for its annual Great Migration where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse its vast plains. The park is home to the Big Five – lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos – and offers unparalleled game viewing year-round. Its diverse ecosystems, ranging from grasslands to woodlands, support an incredible variety of species. Visitors can experience the Serengeti’s beauty through game drives, hot air balloon safaris, and guided walks, making it a quintessential African safari destination.

Located in northern Tanzania, the Serengeti forms part of the country’s renowned northern safari circuit. Spanning almost 15,000 square kilometres, (it’s slightly bigger than Connecticut) of vast grassy plains, flat-topped acacia trees, rocky kopjes and undulating savannah landscape, this region is a contender for one of the best wildlife experiences in Africa.
