Serengeti

Welcome to the Serengeti

The Serengeti National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site covering 14,763 km² — is Tanzania’s most famous national park and one of the world’s great wildlife destinations. Its name is derived from the Maasai word “Siringet,” meaning “endless plains,” which perfectly describes the vast grassland ecosystem that stretches between the Ngorongoro highlands and the Kenya border.

The Serengeti is home to the largest remaining concentration of plains game in Africa. Its defining spectacle is the Great Migration — the annual movement of over 1.5 million wildebeest, 500,000 zebra, and 200,000 gazelle across the ecosystem in search of fresh grazing. This circular migration — and the predator action it brings — is the most dramatic wildlife event on the planet. The Seronera central area offers year-round wildlife excellence, particularly for leopard sightings.
