The Park is located 335km (208 miles) from Arusha, stretching north to Kenya and bordering Lake Victoria to the west. Its size is 14,763 sq km (5,700 sq miles). Serengeti can be reached through scheduled and charter flights from Arusha, Lake Manyara and Mwanza. Drive from Arusha, Lake Manyara, Tarangire or Ngorongoro Crater.

The best exciting attraction is the annual wildebeest migration where by a million wildebeest each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life.

Serengeti is Tanzania’s oldest and most popular national park, also a world heritage site and recently proclaimed a 7th world wide wonder, as more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelle join the wildebeest’s trek for fresh grazing.

Apart from this magnificent migration, the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle.

Predators like lions and leopards always abundance of grassers like antelopes, gazelles etc

But there is more to Serengeti than large mammals. Gaudy agama lizards and rock hyraxes scuffle around the surfaces of the park’s isolated granite koppies. A full 100 varieties of dung beetle have been recorded, as have 500-plus bird species, ranging from the outsized ostrich and bizarre secretary bird of the open grassland, to the black eagles that soar effortlessly above the Lobo Hills.

enjoyable activities here are hot air balloon safaris, walking safari, picnicking, game drives, Maasai rock paintings and musical rocks. For pleasure view of wildebeest migration, December-July is good tim; but to see predators June-October is favorable time.
