Serengeti National Park
Home to the Great Migration — over two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle crossing vast golden plains in one of Earth's most spectacular wildlife events.
The Serengeti is Tanzania's crown jewel and one of Africa's most iconic safari destinations. Spanning 14,750 square kilometres of endless savannah, acacia-dotted plains, and kopje-studded grasslands, it supports the highest concentration of large mammals on the planet.
The park's name derives from the Maasai word siringet, meaning "the place where the land runs on forever" — and standing on the Serengeti plains, you understand why. The landscape stretches to every horizon, alive with predator-prey drama that has played out for millennia.
Beyond the Great Migration, the Serengeti delivers year-round exceptional game viewing. The southern plains host massive wildebeest calving from January to March, the central Seronera valley offers permanent big cat sightings, and the northern reaches along the Mara River stage the famous river crossings from July to October.
Whether you choose a luxury tented camp that moves with the Migration or a permanent lodge overlooking the plains, the Serengeti offers a safari experience that is simply unmatched anywhere on Earth.

During the Great Migration, over 1.5 million wildebeest, 400,000 zebra, and 200,000 Thomson's gazelle make their circular journey through the ecosystem. Resident wildlife includes giraffe, hippo, crocodile, hyena, African wild dog, and over 500 bird species.

Most visitors combine the Serengeti with Ngorongoro Crater as part of a Northern Circuit safari, typically starting from Arusha — Tanzania's safari capital.

Park entry fees are $82.60 per adult per 24 hours (non-resident). Children aged 5–15 pay $23.60. Vehicle fees and concession fees apply separately. Your safari operator typically includes all park fees in the package price.
