About Serengeti
Serengeti National Park is a world-renowned wilderness in Tanzania, famous for its vast golden savannas and the annual Great Migration of millions of wildebeest and zebras. It offers unparalleled wildlife viewing, including the Big Five and immense predator concentrations.
How to Explore
The main gateway towns are Arusha or Mwanza, from which most travelers take a bush flight directly into one of the Serengeti's many airstrips. Once there, the primary way to explore is via 4x4 safari vehicles driven by professional guides who possess expert knowledge of animal behavior. Many visitors split their time between different areas like the Central Seronera Valley for resident wildlife and the Northern Serengeti for river crossings. Day-trip options within the park are limited, so multi-day lodge or tented camp safaris are recommended to maximize your experience across the vast landscape.
