Serengeti National Park Safari: What to Expect

Imagine travelling in an open vehicle, the grasslands rippling all around you for as far as the eye can see. You come across a massive herd of wildebeest, all with a single mind of moving forward. The sheer expanse of everything around you, from the herds of antelopes to the savannah, will astound you during a luxury Serengeti safari.

The Serengeti National Park is in the East African nation of Tanzania and is the location of exciting safari adventures, including one of the largest mammal migrations in the world. This is where millions of wildebeest, gazelles, and zebras start their journey towards Kenya – a Great Migration safari in the Serengeti is certainly a bucket list trip!

A plethora of wildlife call this national park home. During a Serengeti safari tour, you could spot the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino). It’s a fantastic big cat safari destination, with sightings of lions, leopards, and cheetahs being common. Serengeti National Park is also a premier destination for a birdwatching safari in Tanzania, with over 500 species to spot, including exciting endemic and near-endemic species.

A safari in the Serengeti National Park can include thrilling hot air balloon excursions for a bird’s-eye view of the vast savannah, walking safaris for an immersive experience in nature, following the migration herds in a mobile camp, and cultural visits to learn from the wisdom of the Maasai.
