The Serengeti National Park is Tanzania’s oldest and most popular national park, spanning 14,763 square kilometres of savannah, woodlands, and riverine forest. Its name comes from the Maasai word “siringet” meaning “endless plains”.
The park is world-renowned for the Great Migration, where over 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras, and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelles make their annual circular trek following the rains. This natural spectacle is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa.
The Serengeti boasts the largest lion population in Africa and is home to all Big Five animals. Visitors can enjoy game drives, hot air balloon safaris, and walking safaris with experienced guides.
