Introduction

Serengeti National Park is one of the world's most famous and spectacular wildlife reserves. About 14,750 km² of vast grassland featuring the Great Migration (~1.5 million wildebeest, 250,000 zebras), high-density Big Five viewing and endless African savanna — the world's most stunning wildlife destination (UNESCO). "Serengeti" means "endless plains" in Maasai. The Great Migration — ~1.5 million wildebeest and zebras migrating north to Kenya's Masai Mara (~Jul-Oct), crossing the crocodile-infested Mara River ("River Crossing"). Year-round wildlife — lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo and giraffes. Visiting to witness the Great Migration on endless African savanna is a life-changing Tanzania experience.
