Serengeti National Park
About Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park is one of Africa’s oldest and most celebrated wildlife reserves, covering approximately 14,750 square kilometers in northern Tanzania. The name “Serengeti” comes from the Maasai word Siringet, meaning “endless plains.”
The park is globally recognized for the Great Migration, where over two million wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles move across the ecosystem in search of fresh grazing lands. This spectacular natural event attracts predators such as lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and crocodiles, creating one of the most dramatic wildlife experiences on Earth.
Serengeti features diverse landscapes including open savannahs, riverine forests, rocky kopjes, and woodlands. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking scenery, luxury safari lodges, hot air balloon safaris, and unforgettable wildlife encounters year-round.
