Make an Enquiry

Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania is one of the most iconic safari destinations in the world. Famous for its endless savannahs, rich biodiversity, and the legendary Great Migration, the Serengeti offers a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experience that draws travelers from around the globe.

Covering approximately 14,750 square kilometers, Serengeti National Park is part of the larger Serengeti ecosystem, which includes Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve and Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This vast wilderness features diverse landscapes—rolling grasslands, acacia woodlands, riverine forests, and granite outcrops known as kopjes—providing a perfect habitat for a wide array of wildlife.

Why Visit Serengeti National Park?

  • Witness the Great Migration: One of the most spectacular wildlife events on Earth, the Great Wildebeest Migration involves over 1.5 million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and gazelles moving across the plains in search of fresh grazing. This natural wonder usually occurs between December and July, with prime viewing in different regions depending on the season.

  • Spot the Big Five and More: Serengeti is home to Africa’s famed Big Five—lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhinoceros. Visitors can also see cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, crocodiles, and over 500 bird species.

  • Year-Round Game Viewing: While the migration is a major highlight, the park offers excellent wildlife sightings throughout the year, especially in the Seronera region (Central Serengeti), known for its resident predators and abundant plains game.

How to Get to Serengeti National Park

Most travelers begin their journey from Arusha or the Ngorongoro Crater area. The park is accessible via:

  • By road: Scenic drives through the countryside and highlands.

  • By air: Multiple airstrips within the park allow for quick access by small aircraft from Arusha, Kilimanjaro, or Zanzibar.

Where to Stay in Serengeti

The Serengeti caters to all travel styles, offering:

  • Luxury lodges with premium services and panoramic views.

  • Tented camps that provide an immersive, close-to-nature experience.

  • Budget campsites for adventurous travelers.

Top Safari Regions in Serengeti

  • Central Serengeti (Seronera): Great for year-round game viewing.

lake manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park is a compact yet ecologically diverse wildlife sanctuary located in northern Tanzania, covering 325 square kilometers between the sheer cliffs of the Great Rift Valley Escarpment and the glassy waters of Lake Manyara. Nearly two-thirds of the park’s total surface area is occupied by the alkaline soda lake itself, which regularly draws millions of pink flamingos and other waterbirds to its shallow edges. The remaining terrain features a dramatic sequence of habitats, moving from a dense groundwater forest populated by massive troops of olive baboons and blue monkeys to open acacia woodlands famous for sheltering rare tree-climbing lions. Its rich environment provides critical feeding grounds for large herds of elephants, Cape buffaloes, giraffes, and hippos wallowing at the Mto wa Mbu entry points, offering a visually stunning, rapid safari experience right on the doorstep of the broader Northern Safari Circui

Ngorongoro National Park

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area, frequently referred to as the Ngorongoro National Park, is a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Tanzania spanning 8,292 square kilometers across highland plains, savanna, and forests. At its heart lies the famous Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera, which spans 260 square kilometers and drops 610 meters deep. This natural amphitheater functions as a self-sustaining eco-sanction sheltering roughly 30,000 large mammals, boasting the densest known population of mammalian predators in Africa—including prolific lion prides and spotted hyenas. Unlike traditional national parks, it operates as a multi-use territory where semi-nomadic Maasai pastoralists co-exist alongside the native wildlife, creating a globally unique socio-ecological landscape that also encompasses Olduvai Gorge, one of the most critical paleoanthropological sites for human origin research.

TARANGIRE National Park

Tarangire National Park in Tanzania is a stunning wildlife sanctuary encompassing roughly 2,850 square kilometers in the Manyara Region, highly celebrated for its iconic baobab-studded landscapes and massive elephant populations. The park is bisected by the Tarangire River, which serves as the primary freshwater lifeline for thousands of migratory animals—including zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, and elands—that converge on its banks during the annual dry season from June to October. Often described as a quieter, more intimate alternative to the Serengeti, Tarangire provides excellent big game viewing with high concentrations of lions, leopards, and cheetahs, alongside more than 550 distinct bird species.
