The Serengeti National Park is Tanzania's oldest and most popular national park. Its name comes from the Maasai word "siringet" meaning "endless plains," and the landscape lives up to that description magnificently.
The Serengeti is the stage for the greatest wildlife show on Earth — the annual migration of over 1.5 million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebra. From the calving season in the southern plains (January-March) to the dramatic river crossings in the north (June-October), the migration is a year-round spectacle.
Beyond the migration, the Serengeti hosts one of the largest lion populations in Africa, elusive leopards, cheetahs on the open plains, and over 500 bird species.
