Serengeti National Park is one of the most renowned wildlife sanctuaries in the world, offering visitors an unparalleled opportunity to witness the beauty and majesty of Africa's natural landscapes and wildlife.
Established in 1951, Serengeti National Park spans over 14,750 square kilometers (5,700 square miles) of northern Tanzania. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated for its breathtaking vistas, diverse ecosystems, and extraordinary wildlife. The name "Serengeti" comes from the Maasai word "Siringet," meaning "endless plains," a fitting description for the vast, open landscapes that characterize this iconic park.
The Serengeti is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on what you want to see:
June to October, when the wildebeest and other animals are moving through the park.
January to February, when thousands of wildebeest calves are born.
December to March and June to October, offering excellent game viewing opportunities.
Known for high densities of lions and leopards.
Good for elephant and buffalo sightings, especially around the Grumeti River.
One of the few areas where black rhinoceroses can be spotted.
The Serengeti National Park, along with various conservation organizations, actively works to protect and preserve the populations of the Big Five through anti-poaching initiatives, habitat conservation, and community engagement programs.
