Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti ecosystem is one of the oldest on Earth, with weather patterns, flora, and fauna that have barely changed over the millennia. It is here that the Great Migration�one of nature's most spectacular events�unfolds each year as over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles follow the rains in search of fresh grazing.

Great Migration

The endless plains stretch as far as the eye can see, punctuated by rocky kopjes that serve as lookout points for lions and leopards. The Seronera Valley in the central Serengeti offers year-round wildlife viewing, while the northern reaches near the Mara River provide front-row seats to dramatic river crossings.

Beyond the migration, the Serengeti is home to one of Africa's largest lion populations. The Serengeti Lion Project has studied these magnificent cats for decades, and visitors often witness prides hunting, playing, and raising cubs. Leopards drape themselves over acacia branches, while cheetahs use the open plains to reach speeds of 70 mph in pursuit of prey.

For the ultimate perspective, hot air balloon safaris offer a bird's eye view of the plains at dawn, followed by champagne breakfast in the bush. As the sun sets, the savannah transforms into a golden sea, creating moments that define the African safari experience.
