The Serengeti is Tanzania’s most destination, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981 and recognised as one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World. 

Wildlife: The Serengeti, a diverse ecosystem, offers an abundance of wildlife and game viewing opportunities. From the iconic Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino) to numerous antelope species, giraffes, gazelle and others. Additionally, the Serengeti is especially renowned for its dramatic predator-prey interactions. The abundance of herbivores during the wildebeest migration attracts large numbers of predators such as lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. Witnessing a thrilling hunt or a predator stalking its prey is a unique and captivating experience.

Landscape: Characterised by its endless rolling plains, Serengeti National Park boasts an extraordinary range of habitats, including grassy plains, acacia woodlands, riverine forests, and rocky outcrops called kopjes. This diverse landscape supports a wide array of wildlife species.

Known For: Serengeti is known for the Great Wildebeest Migration, an annual occurrence where over 1.5 million wildebeest, along with zebras and gazelles, undertake a dramatic journey across the Serengeti ecosystem in search of fresh grazing and water, creating a breath-taking natural spectacle. While other countries in East Africa witness parts of this migration, Tanzania’s Serengeti is the epicenter and provides unparalleled opportunities to witness this phenomenon in its entirety.

Cultural Heritage: The Serengeti is home to the Maasai people, who have lived in harmony with the wildlife for centuries. Their traditional way of life and cultural practices add a unique dimension to the Serengeti experience, offering opportunities to engage with local communities and learn about their rich heritage.
