Serengeti National park

The Serengeti National Park is a breathtaking expanse of golden savannah, acacia-dotted plains, and dramatic wildlife encounters. Covering over 14,750 square kilometers in northern Tanzania, Serengeti is world-renowned for hosting the Great Wildebeest Migration, one of nature’s most astonishing spectacles.

Destination Overview

Welcome to Africa’s most iconic wilderness!

Every year, over 2 million wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles migrate in search of fresh grazing — followed closely by predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. This age-old journey across crocodile-infested rivers and vast plains is a raw display of survival, making it a must-see for any wildlife enthusiast.

Wildlife in Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park offers so much more beauty than just the wildebeest migration. You can see a variety of landscapes and wildlife unlike anywhere else in Africa. The endless plains are home to more than 4,000 lions, 1,000 leopards, 225 cheetahs and 3,500 hyenas. It’s no surprise there are so many predators due to the abundance of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles and buffaloes. The Serengeti is also one of the best places to see the Big Five – rhino, buffalo, elephant, lion and leopard. Almost all the famous African animals are present in this majestic park. This includes rare animal species like the pangolin, East African Oryx, rhino and wild dog.
