Details of Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park, renowned for the legendary Great Wildebeest Migration, is the quintessential African safari destination. Spanning over 14,000 square kilometers, its endless savannah plains are teeming with iconic wildlife, including the Big Five, along with lions, leopards, and over 9,000 hyenas. The park offers exceptional predator sightings, making it the best place in East Africa to observe these animals in their natural habitat.
The Serengeti is divided into five regions—North, South, East, West, and Central—each offering unique game drive experiences and accommodation options. Whether you’re camping under the stars or staying at luxurious lodges like the Four Seasons, there’s something for every type of traveler. The migration is most active between December and July, but Serengeti remains a wildlife haven year-round, ensuring an unforgettable safari experience.
