Covering an area of 14,763 sq. km., the Serengeti National Park is arguable the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world. Serengeti means "endless plains" in the Maasai language and within its boundaries are more than three million mammals.  The Serengeti National Park is the Tanzania's oldest and most famous national Park. The park is also a world heritage site and was recently declared 7th world wide wonder.

The Serengeti encompasses a massive and pristine wilderness area. Thousands of square miles filled with plentiful wildlife beckon your exploration. Because of its large size, the Serengeti has retained a raw and wild feel that many of the other parks in Africa have lost. There are a few areas of the Serengeti including the Seronera Valley that may feel congested during peak travel months.

Serengeti is famed for its annual migration, when some six million hooves pound the open plains, as more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson's gazelle join the wildebeest's trek for fresh grazing. Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant's gazelle. From June, huge herds of wildebeest, gazelle and zebra begin their spectacular migration. In their wake follow the predators, lion, cheetah and wild dog, with vultures circling overhead.

Here one can witness the unique migration of almost 1.5 million wildebeest undertake a circuit of 1000Kms searching for new pasture from the central plains to the permanent water of the Park corridors. The Serengeti National Park ecosystem supports not only the largest herds of migrating ungulates but also the highest.
