Serengeti National Park

About Serengeti

The Serengeti National Park is Tanzania's oldest and most popular game park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and recently proclaimed a 7th Worldwide Wonder. It is famous for its annual migration of over 1.5 million white-bearded (or brindled) wildebeest and 250,000 zebra and for its numerous Nile crocodile and honey badger.

Beyond the migration, the Serengeti offers year-round game viewing with healthy populations of the Big 5 (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo, Rhino) and cheetahs, hyenas, and wild dogs roaming the endless plains.

Frequently Asked Questions About Serengeti

The best time depends on what you want to see. For the Great Migration river crossings, June to October is ideal (North). For calving season (baby wildebeest), visiting Ndutu (South) from January to March is recommended.

We recommend at least 3 to 4 days to truly appreciate the vastness of the Serengeti and increase your chances of seeing the Big 5 and the Migration.

The "Big 5" refers to the Lion, Leopard, Rhinoceros, Elephant, and Cape Buffalo. The Serengeti is one of the few places where you can see all of them in their natural habitat.
