The Serengeti is the safari most people dream about — 14,750 square kilometres of open grassland, kopjes and acacia woodland holding the greatest concentration of plains game on Earth.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the stage for the Great Migration, the Serengeti delivers exceptional wildlife viewing in every season. From the predator-rich Seronera valley to the Mara River crossings in the far north and the calving grounds of the southern plains, each region of the park tells a different chapter of the same extraordinary story.
