The World's Greatest Wildlife Show

Serengeti National Park is Tanzania's oldest and most famous national park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that epitomizes the quintessential African safari experience. The name "Serengeti" comes from the Maasai word "Siringet," meaning "endless plains" — a fitting description for this vast 14,763 square kilometer ecosystem.

Home to the world's most spectacular wildlife event, the Great Migration sees over 2 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles undertake their annual circular journey in search of fresh grazing. This ancient cycle of life and death attracts thousands of predators, creating unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities year-round.

Beyond the migration, the Serengeti boasts the highest concentration of large predators in Africa, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas. The park's diverse ecosystems — from vast grassland plains to riverine forests and rocky kopjes — support an incredible 500 bird species and 70 large mammal species, making it one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.
