Serengeti
Great Migration • Big Cats • Year-round Safari

The Serengeti is Tanzania's most storied wilderness — an endless plain where the world's greatest migration unfolds beneath open skies.

Overview

A place that rewards the unhurried traveller.

Two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle trace the same ancient path each year across the Serengeti. Whether you visit for the river crossings of the north, the calving season of the south, or simply the resident prides of the central plains, the Serengeti rewards the unhurried traveller with silences and vistas that reset the way you see the world.
