Home to the largest terrestrial mammal migration on Earth, the Serengeti’s endless plains support one of Africa’s most extraordinary concentrations of wildlife year-round.

Why Visit the Serengeti

The Serengeti’s vast grasslands host the annual Great Migration, when over a million wildebeest and zebra move in a continuous cycle across Tanzania and into Kenya’s Maasai Mara. Even outside migration season, the ecosystem supports dense populations of lions, elephants, and other iconic African wildlife.
