Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti National Park is without a doubt the most well-known wildlife refuge in the world, unparalleled in terms of natural beauty and scientific importance, and it boasts the highest concentration of plains game in Africa.

Tanzania's Serengeti National Park was created in 1952. It is the site of the world's greatest natural extravaganza, the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra. The resident lion, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, and bird populations are also outstanding.

The Serengeti ecosystem is one of the most ancient on the planet. Climate, vegetation, and animals have remained mostly unchanged over the last million years. Around two million years ago, an early man appeared in Olduvai Gorge. Some life, death, adaptation, and migratory patterns are as ancient as the hills themselves.

The Serengeti is arguably most known for its migration. During the brief rains in October and November, over a million wildebeest and 200,000 zebras migrate south from the northern highlands to the southern plains, then swirl west and north following the long rains in April, May, and June.
