Overview

Discover Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park is Tanzania’s most celebrated wildlife destination and one of Africa’s greatest natural treasures. Covering vast open plains, rolling savannahs, acacia woodlands, and rocky kopjes, the park is home to an extraordinary diversity of wildlife and breathtaking landscapes.

Renowned worldwide for the Great Wildebeest Migration, Serengeti hosts more than two million wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles as they move across the ecosystem in search of fresh grazing. This spectacular journey attracts predators including lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, and crocodiles, creating one of nature’s most remarkable wildlife events.

Wildlife & Landscape

Beyond the Great Migration, Serengeti offers exceptional year-round game viewing with healthy populations of elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos, crocodiles, antelopes, and over 500 bird species. Its diverse habitats create unforgettable safari experiences in every season.

Scheduled flights operate daily from Arusha, Zanzibar and other major safari destinations, landing at Seronera, Kogatende, Grumeti and several private airstrips throughout the park.

Road safaris normally take between 7 and 8 hours from Arusha, offering spectacular scenery through the Great Rift Valley, Karatu and Ngorongoro Highlands before entering Serengeti National Park.
