Serengeti National Park is the crown jewel of Tanzania’s safari destinations — a land of vast golden plains, dramatic skies, and abundant wildlife. Spanning 14,750 square kilometers, the Serengeti is world-famous for the Great Wildebeest Migration, where over a million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles journey across the plains in search of fresh grazing.
This ancient spectacle is one of nature’s greatest dramas, attracting predators like lions, cheetahs, and crocodiles in pursuit. Beyond the migration, the Serengeti offers year-round game viewing, remarkable biodiversity, and some of the most iconic scenery in Africa.
