Serengeti, Tanzania
Exploring the endless plains of the Serengeti
Serengeti National Park, situated in northern Tanzania, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that spans nearly 15,000 square kilometres of protected wilderness. Its name is derived from the Maasai word Siringet, meaning "the place where the land moves on forever" - a perfect description for the endless, golden grasslands that stretch out to the horizon.
Together with Kenya's Maasai Mara, it forms one of the most complex, pristine, and vital natural ecosystems remaining on our planet.
The Great Migration
The Serengeti hosts the largest portion of the circular Great Migration. Depending on the month, you can witness massive, dust-kicking columns of millions of wildebeests and zebras blanketing the southern plains for calving season.
Lots of Predators
The vast open horizons make the Serengeti a dream destination for tracking large predators. The park supports healthy, thriving populations of over 3,000 lions, numerous leopards, and quick cheetahs hunting across the open terrain.
