UNESCO World Heritage Site
Serengeti National Park is arguably the most famous wildlife sanctuary in the world. Its name, derived from the Maasai word 'Siringet', meaning "endless plains", perfectly captures the magnitude of its 14,763 square kilometers. This vast ecosystem is the stage for nature's most dramatic show: the Great Wildebeest Migration.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Serengeti is home to the largest concentration of plains game on the continent. Beyond the migration, it offers unparalleled wildlife viewing year-round, featuring the legendary Big Five and an incredible density of predators including lions, leopards, and cheetahs.
Over 1.5 million wildebeest and 250,000 zebra cross the Mara and Grumeti rivers in search of fresh grazing.
Home to over 4,000 lions, 1,000 leopards and 3,500 hyenas — the highest predator density in Africa.
Witness the dramatic struggle as herds cross crocodile-infested waters (typically July - October).
Explore these iconic granite outcrops, a favorite resting spot for lion prides.
