Serengeti

Serengeti National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife reserves, spanning over 14,700 square kilometres. Established in 1951, Serengeti offers a pristine wilderness experience, where visitors can witness wildlife in their natural habitats. Renowned for its vast savannas, rolling hills, and diverse ecosystems, the park is home to one of the world’s most spectacular natural phenomena—the Great Migration. Each year, millions of wildebeest and zebras traverse the plains in search of greener pastures, creating a breathtaking display of nature.

The park is characterized by its stunning landscapes, ranging from open grasslands to riverine forests, providing a perfect backdrop for incredible wildlife sightings and photography.

Serengeti Great Migration has been listed as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Not only does it offer incredible views of the plains dotted with huge herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle, but the rivers are often infested with large Nile crocodiles lying in wait.

Some of the best safari opportunities in the world are found here, across a landscape made up of volcanic grasslands and vast plains interrupted by rocky outcrops, rivers, and forests. Visiting the right area in the right season will treat travellers to astonishing sightings of this natural phenomenon.

These migratory herds also attract the attention of some of the continent’s most renowned predators, ensuring that if travellers are following the Migration; big cats, crocodiles, and hyenas will never be too far behind.
