Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti is Africa's most famous park. Renowned for its incredible concentrations of predators and the Great Migration of two million wildebeest, the Serengeti guarantees an exceptional safari. The endless grassy plains (Serengeti in Maasai) are the richest grazing grounds on the continent, and therefore home to the largest herds and the highest concentrations of predators on the planet.


Today, the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and the Maasai Mara Game Reserve across the border in Kenya, protect the greatest and most varied collection of terrestrial wildlife on earth, and one of the last great migratory systems still intact.




The great Serengeti wildebeest migration is the movement of vast numbers of the Serengeti's wildebeest, accompanied by large numbers of zebra, and smaller numbers of Grant's gazelle, Thompson's gazelle, eland and impala.






Serengeti safari in Serengeti national park is prominent for its considerable size of lions, this park is located in the north of Tanzania, and extends into Kenya on the south–west. 70 large mammals, including the Big Five, and over 500 avifauna species and birds, live inside the park. This park has the leading number of resident predators: Leopards, Lions, Jackals, Hyenas and Servals. Beautiful birds such as eagles, ostriches, fish eagles and secretary birds reside within the park. The ecological unit is inclusive of rivers, outcropping of rocks called kopjes, termite mounds and savannah plains.
