Serengeti National Park is a world-renowned wildlife sanctuary in Tanzania, known for its natural beauty and scientific value. With the highest concentration of plains game in Africa, it is home to the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth – the annual migration of over a million wildebeest and 200,000 zebras. The resident population of lion, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, and birds is also impressive.

Established in 1952, the park covers 5,700 square miles (14,763 square kilometers) and can be divided into three sections. The popular southern/central part, known as the “serengit” by the Maasai, is classic savannah with acacias and abundant wildlife. The western corridor is marked by the Grumeti River, with more forests and dense bush, while the north Lobo area is the least visited section, meeting Kenya’s Masai Mara Reserve.

Within the 30,000 square kilometers region, two World Heritage Sites and two Biosphere Reserves have been established. The Serengeti ecosystem is one of the oldest on earth, with climate, vegetation, and fauna barely changing in the past million years. Olduvai Gorge, where early humans appeared two million years ago, is also located here.

The migration is the most famous aspect of the Serengeti. The wildebeest and zebras travel through various parks, reserves, and protected areas, crossing rivers and adapting to different habitats. This ancient instinct to move remains strong, with no drought or crocodile-infested river holding them back.

Accommodations range from luxury lodges to mobile camps, and the park offers a wide variety of vegetation and landscapes to explore, as well as fascinating inhabitants. Join us on an adventure to the Serengeti ecosystem, inspired by writers like Ernest Hemingway and Peter Mattheissen, filmmakers like Hugo von Lawick and Alan Root, as well as numerous photographers and scientists.
