Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park is considered the most famous park in all of Africa, with over 14,000 sq. km of savannah inhabited by an extraordinary fauna unique in the world. It’s known for its Great Plains and the huge population of predators, especially lions. On top of that, Serengeti is home to one of the largest annual animal migrations on our planet; the great wildebeest migration.

Because of these reasons, Serengeti has become the safari highlight for many wildlife enthusiasts. The park has grown substantially more popular after appearing several times in nature documentaries like Planet Earth, BBC, and many more.

Serengeti National Park lies in the most northern part of Tanzania, bordering Kenya and the Maasai Mara. The park covers a vast area of around 15.000 square kilometers featuring huge savannas, mountains, forests, and many rivers.
