Serengeti National Park » Introduction

 

The Serengeti is best known for the phenomenal migration that plays out every year. Over two million large mammals carve across the plains in a circular trek; their steady instinctive movements tied to the land and grass and rain.

Of course, where large groups of game thrive so do predators; lions, cheetahs, hyenas and leopards are common sightings on our Serengeti holiday safaris.

The Maasai, who have grazed their cattle on the Serengeti's enormous plains for centuries, call it Siringitu, "the place where the land moves on forever."

The vast treeless plains of the Serengeti are in fact just that - an endless expanse of wilderness stretching to the horizon in every single direction, and it's only fitting that a wilderness area this massive sustains the world's largest concentration of wildlife.

 

 The Serengeti is not just at the heart of Africa; it encompasses everything that is African - Africa safari expert Monique Roden 

 

It's important to realise that the Serengeti has distinct regions which witness greater game concentrations at certain times of the year: read our Serengeti areas guide to get the low down on where to go and when. Many people come for the migration and our guide to When to Go to the Serengeti and our Great Migration section will help you plan your Serengeti safari.

That said, Serengeti holiday safaris are magnificent throughout the year as there are always good resident populations of big game.

The accommodation in the Serengeti is varied enough to suit you, whatever your taste. There are mobile tented camps, beautifully designed lodges that blend in with the surroundings and colonial-style retreats where you can live the luxury of days gone by.

Our many safari options offer you not only the chance to explore the Serengeti but other incredible wildlife destinations such as the Ngorongoro Crater or Masai Mara.

Serengeti holiday safaris include the 8-day Tanzania in Style fly-in safari, bush and beach combinations like our Classic Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar and numerous overland tours.
