About this Destination

Discover Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park is widely recognized as one of the most iconic wildlife sanctuaries on earth. Derived from the Maasai word "Siringet", meaning "the place where the land moves on forever", this UNESCO World Heritage Site spans nearly 15,000 square kilometers of untamed African savannah, riverine forests, and dramatic granite kopjes.

The Greatest Wildlife Spectacle on Earth

Each year, over 1.5 million wildebeest accompanied by hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles traverse the Serengeti ecosystem in search of fresh grazing. Visitors can witness heart-pounding predator ambushes on the southern plains, spectacular calving seasons, and the world-famous river crossings over the Grumeti and Mara rivers where giant Nile crocodiles await.

Big Cat Territory & Kopjes

The Serengeti boasts the highest concentration of lions in Africa, with healthy prides often seen lounging on ancient rock outcroppings known as kopjes. The Seronera River Valley is famed for secretive leopards resting in yellow-barked acacia trees, while the sweeping short-grass plains offer premier territory for high-speed cheetah hunts.

Signature Experiences

  • Early-morning hot air balloon flights drifting silently over the waking savannah at sunrise.
  • Full-day 4x4 game drives tracing the seasonal movements of the Great Migration herds.
  • Spectacular sunset sundowners overlooking the golden plains of Seronera.
