Serengeti National Park is the wild heart of Tanzania. With its nearly 15,000 km² of vast plains, it is one of Africa’s most iconic ecosystems. Its name comes from the Maasai word «Serengeti,» meaning «endless plain,» a description that perfectly captures the essence of this place.
Located in northern Tanzania, the Serengeti is the national park where more documentaries have been filmed than any other. Over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles roam its lands in search of fresh pastures.
The Serengeti is home to an impressive diversity of wildlife. It is home to the Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros. It also boasts a significant population of lions, cheetahs, and leopards, making it one of the best places in the world to observe these predators in action.
The abundance of prey and the variety of habitats, from savannas to riparian forests, make the Serengeti a prime destination for nature lovers and landscape enthusiasts.
The park is characterized by its diverse landscapes:
This variety of ecosystems not only enriches biodiversity but also provides breathtaking scenery for safaris.

My name is Cornelio, and I’ve been leading safaris in Serengeti National Park for over 15 years. What impresses our visitors most is witnessing the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras and the opportunity to observe the Big Five in their natural habitat.
I recommend spending at least three days: exploring the Seronera region, where lions and leopards can be seen; the northern region, where the migration is concentrated; and the western region, to enjoy the Grumeti and Mara rivers and the spectacular plains of the kopjes.
Visiting Serengeti National Park is to immerse yourself in a world where nature reveals itself in its purest and most majestic form. Every corner of the park tells a story of survival, adaptation, and ecological balance. It is a place that leaves a profound mark on the hearts of those privileged enough to explore it.
It’s one of Tanzania’s treasures, combining endless landscapes, rocky hills, and vital rivers. World-famous for the Great Migration, this park also offers daily encounters with diverse wildlife that surprises at every turn. You’ll feel like you’re in The Lion King.
