Home to the Great Migration
Overview
Serengeti National Park, located in northern Tanzania, is a globally renowned wildlife sanctuary that epitomizes the untamed beauty of the African savanna. Spanning over 14,750 square kilometres, the park is a witness to the raw, unfiltered essence of nature and is synonymous with the Great Wildebeest Migration—one of the most spectacular wildlife events on the planet.
Serengeti, derived from the Maasai word meaning "endless plains," lives up to its name with vast landscapes of grasslands, acacia trees, and rocky outcrops. The park is part of the larger Serengeti Ecosystem, including the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and adjacent reserves. It is home to an extraordinary diversity of wildlife, making it a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Tanzania's flagship conservation areas.
Best Time To Visit
The dry season from June to October is considered the Best Time To Visit Serengeti National Park. During this period, the Great Migration takes place, and animals gather around water sources, making wildlife sightings abundant and easier to spot. This season also offers excellent game viewing with fewer mosquitoes. The wet season (November to April) offers lush green landscapes and fewer tourists, but animal sightings can be more spread out as wildlife is more dispersed due to abundant water sources. The wet season is ideal for birdwatching and seeing the park’s vegetation come to life.
Wildlife
- Wildebeests: The stars of the Great Migration, wildebeests, along with zebras and gazelles, create an awe-inspiring spectacle as they move across the plains.
- Lions: Serengeti is renowned for its healthy lion population, with prides often seen resting or hunting in the open grasslands.
- Elephants: Elephants roam the park, their presence adding a majestic touch to the scenery.
- Leopards: The park's varied terrain provides ideal conditions for leopards, offering opportunities for elusive sightings.
- Cheetahs: Serengeti is one of the best places to witness cheetahs in action, showcasing their incredible speed during hunts.
