Serengeti National Park

A place that stays with you.

Tanzania's most celebrated wilderness rewards every season with vast horizons, abundant resident wildlife and dramatic predator encounters.

Covering almost 15,000 square kilometres, Serengeti National Park is the heart of one of the largest intact ecosystems on Earth. Its name comes from the Maasai word for 'endless plains', and the short-grass plains of the south, the kopje-studded centre and the river woodlands of the north each feel like a different safari.

The Serengeti is famous for the Great Migration, the year-round circuit of more than a million wildebeest with hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles. Just as rewarding are its resident predators: the central Seronera valley is one of Africa's most reliable areas for lion, leopard and cheetah sightings.

A private Serengeti safari lets your guide follow fresh information rather than a fixed route. We usually recommend at least two nights, and three or more if the migration or big cats are your priority.
