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 incredibly 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. It's only fitting that a wilderness area this massive sustains the world's largest concentration of wildlife.

Wildlife populations are bursting all year round, and although many people come for the migration, Serengeti holiday safaris are magnificent throughout the year. Our guide to When to Go to the Serengeti and our Great Migration section will help you plan your Serengeti safari.

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.

Serengeti holiday safaris are a lifelong dream for many travellers and there are packages designed to give you the experience you've been yearning for.

Our many safari options offer you the chance to explore the Serengeti and other incredible wildlife destinations such as the Ngorongoro Crater.

These include the 8-day Tanzania in Style fly-in safari, bush and beach combinations (Classic Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar and numerous overland tours.

Very few of the world's wonders manage to live up to the hype generated around them, but this famous wildlife destination never disappoints. A holiday safari to the Serengeti carries with it the certainty that no matter what time of year you visit, you will see thousands of large animals in a place so vast the land seems to move on forever.
