Serengeti National Park

Why go

Discover what makes Serengeti National Park special

The Serengeti is the heart of any northern Tanzania safari. More than 1.5 million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebra and gazelle follow the rains across its plains in a circular journey that never truly stops.

Its central Seronera valley holds some of Africa's most reliable big cat sightings, while the remote Northern Serengeti around Kogatende is where the dramatic Mara River crossings take place from roughly July to October.

When to visit

Year-round. Jan-Mar calving in the south, Jun-Oct for Mara River crossings in the north.
