Destination overview
Why visit Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park is Tanzania’s legendary endless-plains safari destination, famous for the Great Migration, big cats, kopjes, river systems and extraordinary year-round wildlife viewing. The Serengeti is vast and cinematic, shifting from short-grass plains to woodlands, rivers and granite kopjes, with wildlife movement shaping the safari rhythm.
The destination’s strongest attractions include Great Migration movement in season, Big cat viewing across plains and kopjes, Seronera, southern plains, western corridor and northern Serengeti circuits, Mara River or Grumeti River drama when seasonally relevant, and Balloon safari opportunities. Travellers can experience Morning and afternoon game drives, Full-day migration tracking drives, Hot-air balloon safaris where available, and Photographic safari planning by season, with the programme shaped around the season, lodge location, access route and client pace.
For FIT design, Serengeti National Park works best as a 3-night component within a tailor-made Tanzania itinerary. It combines naturally with Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, Masai Mara National Reserve, and Arusha. The Serengeti is known for wildebeest, zebra, gazelles, lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles and exceptional birds.
