Endless golden plains, the Great Migration, and Africa's greatest concentration of big cats.
About the Park

Welcome to Serengeti National Park

The **Serengeti National Park** is Tanzania’s most famous safari destination and one of the finest wildlife reserves on earth. Its name comes from the Maasai *siringet* - “the land that runs forever” - and that is exactly how its short-grass plains feel, stretching unbroken to the horizon under enormous skies.

Spanning roughly 14,750 square kilometres, the Serengeti is the stage for the **Great Wildebeest Migration**, when over a million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebra move in an endless circle across the ecosystem. It also holds some of Africa’s densest predator populations, so a game drive here can deliver lion, cheetah and leopard in a single day.
