Serengeti National Park
Welcome to Africa’s Most Iconic Wilderness

Featured Tours in the Serengeti
Queen Elizabeth National Park offers one of the most varied and rewarding safari experiences in Uganda. From wildlife-packed game drives to tranquil boat cruises and volcanic crater views, it’s a destination that truly has it all.
Why Visit Serengeti?
The Serengeti is where safari dreams are made—raw, open, and teeming with life. It’s a destination that stirs the soul.
Over two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle move in a continuous cycle through the ecosystem, braving rivers and predators. This is the largest terrestrial mammal migration on Earth.
Home to Africa’s densest populations of lions, cheetahs, and leopards—as well as elephants, giraffes, hyenas, and crocodiles.
Dramatic light, open landscapes, and close wildlife encounters make this a top pick for both professionals and hobbyists.
The Serengeti changes with the months—from golden grasslands to green calving grounds—offering different highlights year-round.
From mobile tented camps that follow the migration to ultra-luxury lodges with plunge pools, the Serengeti has something for every traveler.
When to Visit
Calving season, big cat action in Southern Serengeti
Green season, dramatic light, fewer crowds
Mara River crossings, Northern Serengeti peak
Transition month with light rains, shifting herds

The Great Migration: What You Need to Know

Calving season in Ndutu. Thousands of baby wildebeest are born daily, attracting predators like lions and cheetahs.
The herds begin moving north, crossing the Grumeti River where crocodiles lie in wait. Less crowded and beautifully green.
