The Serengeti is what many people imagine when they think of an African safari, and for good reason. It's one of the best places in the world to see wildlife in its natural habitat.
The park is best known for the Great Migration, when over a million wildebeest and zebra move through the ecosystem in search of fresh grazing. Depending on when you visit, you might witness dramatic river crossings, see thousands of animals on the move, or experience the calving season when predators are especially active
But the Serengeti is worth visiting even outside the migration season. With year-round resident wildlife, excellent big cat sightings, and a range of landscapes from open plains to river valleys, it offers something special in every corner.
