A Serengeti National Park Tanzania Safari is the ultimate African adventure — a journey into one of the world’s most celebrated wildlife sanctuaries. Located in northern Tanzania, the Serengeti covers over 14,750 square kilometers of rolling plains, acacia woodlands, and river valleys.
Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the park is globally renowned for its Great Migration, where over two million wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles move across the Serengeti and into Kenya’s Maasai Mara in search of fresh pastures. This breathtaking event is the largest terrestrial migration on Earth — and one of nature’s most spectacular displays.

The Great Migration is the crown jewel of the Serengeti National Park Tanzania Safari. From December to July, herds roam the southern and central plains, calving by the thousands in February — a season of life, predators, and raw beauty.
By June to October, the herds move north toward the Mara River, where dramatic river crossings unfold as crocodiles wait and chaos turns to triumph. Watching this natural drama is one of the most awe-inspiring experiences in Africa.
