Serengeti National Park

Where Nature Comes Alive

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park is Tanzania’s most iconic safari destination and one of the best-known wildlife sanctuaries in the world. Famed for its breathtaking natural beauty and unmatched ecological value, the park offers travelers an unforgettable opportunity to witness Africa’s most dramatic wildlife encounters.

Established in 1952, Serengeti covers an impressive 14,763 sq km (5,700 sq miles)—a space larger than the U.S. state of Connecticut. This vast expanse of rolling savannah, acacia-dotted plains, woodlands, and rivers is home to an extraordinary diversity of wildlife, including lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, leopards, hyenas, and over 500 bird species.

But what truly sets Serengeti apart is the Great Migration—the largest terrestrial mammal migration on Earth. Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeest and 200,000 zebras journey across the Serengeti plains in search of greener pastures, braving predators and crocodile-infested rivers along the way. This awe-inspiring spectacle is one of nature’s greatest dramas and a must-see for safari enthusiasts.

Exploring Serengeti’s Three Main Regions

Central Serengeti (Seronera Valley): Known as the heart of the park, this area is a wildlife haven with year-round sightings of big cats and classic savannah landscapes.
Western Corridor (Grumeti River): Characterized by forests and riverine habitats, this region is famous for dramatic Grumeti River crossings during the migration.
Northern Serengeti (Lobo Area): Remote and less visited, this region borders Kenya’s Masai Mara and is ideal for spotting the migration between July and October.

A Timeless Ecosystem

The Serengeti ecosystem spans 30,000 sq km and is one of the oldest on Earth. Its landscapes and wildlife patterns have remained largely unchanged for over a million years. The nearby Olduvai Gorge, often called the “Cradle of Humankind,” reveals fossils and evidence of early human life dating back nearly two million years.

It is no wonder that Serengeti is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Biosphere Reserve, inspiring writers like Ernest Hemingway, filmmakers, and photographers worldwide.

Whether you choose a luxury lodge overlooking the plains or an authentic mobile tented camp following the migration, Serengeti promises an adventure unlike any other—a true journey into the wild heart of Africa.
