Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park stands as a symbol of Africa's untouched beauty.

Sprawling across vast plains filled with Acacia trees, this park is most famous for the Great Migration. This natural event sees millions of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and elands’ journey across the landscape, following rain patterns and fresh grass. This migration pattern has been consistent for millions of years, capturing the essence of Serengeti's undisturbed and expansive nature. Recognising its ecological and historical significance, the park was rightfully designated a World Heritage Site in 1981.

But there's more to the Serengeti than just the migration. Its massive land is a canvas of stunning sunsets, roaring lions, and countless other wildlife wonders. The park boasts a wealthy predator population, including about 7,500 hyenas, 3,000 lions, and 250 cheetahs. Elephants roam freely, enhancing the Serengeti's diverse animal kingdom. The park also whispers tales of human history. The Maasai, an indigenous tribe, continue to live here, holding onto their traditions and culture amidst the wild backdrop. A Serengeti National Park Safari offers a blend of nature, history, and timeless culture, promising an experience like no other.
