Overview
Serengeti National Park is one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations, located in northern Tanzania. Spanning approximately 14,750 square kilometers, the park is renowned for its vast open plains, rich biodiversity, and the world-famous Great Migration.
The Great Migration
The Serengeti hosts the largest terrestrial mammal migration on Earth, where over 1.5 million wildebeest, along with hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles, move in a continuous cycle in search of fresh grazing and water. This spectacular event attracts visitors from around the globe.
Wildlife
The park is home to the “Big Five” — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros — as well as cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, and over 500 bird species. The Serengeti’s predator population is among the highest in Africa.
Landscape
Serengeti’s landscape features endless savannah plains, rocky outcrops known as kopjes, riverine forests, and seasonal wetlands. The name “Serengeti” comes from the Maasai word Siringet, meaning “the place where the land runs on forever.”
