Serengeti National Park – Tanzania’s Iconic Wildlife Haven & Great Migration

Serengeti National Park is the crown jewel of African safaris. Sprawling across northern Tanzania, this legendary park is home to one of the planet’s greatest wildlife spectacles — the Great Wildebeest Migration — and an incredible concentration of big cats, elephants, giraffes, and more.

Its name means “endless plains” in the Maasai language, and rightly so — the Serengeti stretches as far as the eye can see, offering a classic safari experience with unbeatable wildlife viewing, raw beauty, and unforgettable moments.
