Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park is a World Heritage Site teeming with wildlife: over 2 million ungulates, 4000 lions, 1000 leopard, 550 cheetahs and some 500 bird species inhabit an area close to 15,000 square kilometers in size. Join us on a safari and explore the endless Serengeti plains dotted with trees and kopjes from which majestic lions control their kingdom; gaze upon the Great Migration in awe or find an elusive leopard in a riverine forest. Or perhaps see everything from a bird’s-eye view and soar over the plains at sunrise during a hot air balloon safari. Accommodation options come in every price range – the sound of lions roaring at night is complimentary.

Welcome to Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti National Park is a world-renowned destination, most famous for hosting the Great Migration, an annual movement of over a million wildebeest and zebra. Beyond this spectacular event, the park offers exceptional year-round wildlife viewing. It is one of the best places in Africa to see predators like lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as the iconic Big Five. Key attractions include the dramatic river crossings during the migration, the wildlife-rich Seronera Valley, and the ancient granite kopjes that dot the landscape. For a unique experience, a hot air balloon safari provides breathtaking aerial views of the vast, endless plains.

  • The Great Migration
    Witness the world's largest animal migration, where massive herds of wildebeest and zebra journey in a continuous cycle across the plains in search of fresh grass and water.
  • Abundant Predators
    The Serengeti is one of the best places to see lions, leopards, and cheetahs in action, thanks to the abundance of prey species that live on the plains.
  • The Big Five
    The park provides excellent opportunities to see lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and the harder-to-find black rhinoceros.
  • Dramatic River Crossings
    A thrilling highlight of the migration where herds brave crocodile-infested rivers, creating a tense and dramatic spectacle of survival.
  • Seronera Valley
    The central district of the park, known for its rich wildlife and the Seronera River, which attracts animals year-round, making game viewing reliable in any season.
  • Hot Air Balloon Safari
    Enjoy a breathtaking bird's-eye view of the vast plains and wildlife below at sunrise, followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush.
