Place
Serengeti National Park
Nature
Serengeti, Mara Region, Tanzania
A vast savannah at the heart of the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem and its annual movement of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles.
Why go
Why visit this place?
The park makes an ecosystem visible at continental scale: open plains, kopjes, woodland, river corridors, resident wildlife, and a migration that follows pasture and water.
When you arrive
What to expect
Serengeti is a very large managed national park. Wildlife distribution, road conditions, and the most useful area to visit change through the year.
Local knowledge
Local tip
Plan around current TANAPA guidance rather than assuming the migration will be in one fixed place or arrive on a fixed date.
Visiting
Getting there
Arusha is the regional road-and-air gateway. Approaches may continue through Ngorongoro and Naabi Hill or use park airstrips.
Best time: The park has wildlife throughout the year; rain and grazing move the migration and change both scenery and access.
