Discover Serengeti
The Serengeti is arguably the greatest wildlife destination on Earth. This vast ecosystem, spanning 30,000 square kilometres of grassland, woodland, and riverine forest, hosts the largest concentration of large mammals on the planet. The Great Migration — in which over two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle traverse the ecosystem in a continuous cycle of birth, death, and renewal — is nature's most spectacular event.
Best Areas to Stay in Serengeti
Safari lodges in the Serengeti range from luxurious permanent camps with infinity pools overlooking the plains to intimate mobile tented camps that follow the migration herds. The Central Serengeti around Seronera offers year-round wildlife viewing with resident populations of lion, leopard, elephant, and buffalo. The Northern Serengeti (Kogatende) is where the dramatic Mara River crossings occur from July to October.
Where to Book in Serengeti
The Western Corridor, around the Grumeti River, hosts wildebeest crossings from May to July as herds move north. The Southern Serengeti's Ndutu plains are the calving grounds from January to March, where hundreds of thousands of wildebeest give birth in a concentrated area — attracting predators and creating extraordinary wildlife drama.
Things to Do in Serengeti
A Serengeti safari is a life-changing experience. Watching a pride of lions at dawn, witnessing thousands of wildebeest thundering across the Mara River while crocodiles wait below, or falling asleep to the sounds of the African bush from your canvas tent are experiences that remain vivid for a lifetime. Hot air balloon flights over the migration herds offer an unforgettable aerial perspective.
