Serengeti National Park

Endless plains & the Great Migration
Serengeti National Park

OVERVIEW

Tanzania’s most famous park and the stage for the Great Migration — over a million wildebeest and zebra moving in an endless loop, trailed the whole way by lion, cheetah and hyena. Even outside migration season, the central Seronera region holds some of the most reliable predator sightings anywhere in Africa, which is why almost every one of our itineraries builds in at least one full day here.

The name comes from the Maasai word Siringet, meaning “the place where the land runs on forever” a fair description of the view from Seronera.
