Serengeti National Park

Discover the destination

A closer look at Serengeti National Park

Across open grasslands, rocky kopjes and acacia woodland, the Serengeti offers a safari on an extraordinary scale. Lions, cheetahs and leopards share this landscape with large herds of grazing animals, making time spent exploring as rewarding as any single sighting.

The Great Migration moves through the wider ecosystem in response to rainfall and fresh grazing. Choosing the right part of the park matters: a camp suited to one season may be far from the herds in another. Allow several nights to explore without rushing.

When to visit

Wildlife viewing is possible throughout the year. Migration locations and river crossings depend on rain and herd movements; select your region and camp around your dates rather than a guaranteed event.

Getting there & combining destinations

Reach the park by road through the Northern Circuit or by a domestic flight to an appropriate airstrip. Combine it with Ngorongoro and Tarangire for a varied journey.
