All Destinations
Destination Overview
Serengeti National Park is one of Africa’s most famous wildlife destinations and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located in northern Tanzania. The name “Serengeti” comes from the Maasai word “Siringet,” meaning “endless plains,” describing the vast golden grasslands that stretch across the region. It is a place where nature follows its ancient rhythm, offering some of the world’s greatest wildlife experiences.
Covering approximately 14,750 square kilometres, Serengeti is home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino), large herds of wildebeest and zebra, cheetahs, giraffes, hyenas, and hundreds of bird species.

Wildlife & Experience
The Serengeti is best known for the Great Wildebeest Migration, one of the largest animal movements on Earth. Millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles travel through the ecosystem in search of fresh grass and water, creating spectacular scenes of survival and predator action.
