Serengeti: Home of the Great Migration. The Serengeti ecosystem is a geographical region in Africa that stretches across northern Tanzania. The protected area within the region covers about 30 000 km² of land, including the Serengeti National Park and several game reserves.

The Serengeti National Park is a World Heritage Site teeming with wildlife: Over 2 million ungulates, 4000 lions, 1000 leopards, 550 cheetahs and about 500 bird species inhabit an area of almost 15,000 square kilometres. Join us on safari and explore the endless Serengeti plains, dotted with trees and kopjes from which the majestic lions rule their domain; marvel at the Great Migration or spot an elusive leopard in a riverine forest. Or see it all from a bird’s eye view and soar over the plains at sunrise during a hot air balloon safari. Overnight accommodation is available in every price range – the nightly roar of the lions comes free.

The Serengeti National Park is one of the most popular destinations in Africa. It is one of the continent’s main attractions, which also means that the number of tourists visiting the area can be overwhelming, especially during peak months. The Serengeti National Park is worth a visit all year round. However, if you want to go against the tide and see fewer crowds, November is the best time to plan your adventure. Fewer people come to the park during this month, but the weather is just as good for playing and exploring. November is low season in the Serengeti National Park and there is a low chance of rainfall. You will enjoy the park more if you visit at this time of year. If you head out during this month, you have a greater chance of seeing animals such as large herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephants and giraffes, and many other ungulates such as eland, topi, kongoni, impala and grant gazelles. All three big cats are easily spotted in the Serengeti National Park throughout the year. Lions are ubiquitous and are often found hunting prey. Cheetahs are very common in the south-eastern plains, while leopards can be seen resting on the large trees along the Seronera River.

It is the only place where millions of wildebeest can be seen migrating across the acacia plains, the cradle of human life, and probably the closest thing to pristine African wilderness: welcome to the Serengeti National Park. Time seems to stand still here, despite the thousands of animals constantly on the move.

The magic of the Serengeti National Park is not so easy to put into words. Not only seeing, but also hearing the buzz of millions of wildebeest so thick in the air that it can be felt through your whole body.
