The Serengeti, covering 14,763 square kilometers of grassland plains, savanna, riverine forest, and woodlands in Tanzania, is a symbol of the African safari experience. It is home to the majestic annual migration of over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles—a truly breathtaking spectacle of life and survival in an ecosystem that has remained largely untouched for millions of years. This vast and beautiful land offers an unparalleled wildlife viewing experience, where one can witness the raw and untamed interactions between predator and prey. The Serengeti's rich biodiversity is not only limited to the Great Migration. It also boasts a large population of lions, leopards, elephants, rhinoceroses, and buffaloes—collectively known as the Big Five.
A safari in the Serengeti can take many forms, from luxury lodges to mobile camps, allowing visitors to choose their level of comfort and adventure. Early morning game drives reveal the land waking up to a new day, while nighttime drives showcase the nocturnal activities of the Serengeti's inhabitants. For a bird's-eye view, one can embark on a hot-air balloon safari, floating silently above the plains as the sun rises, casting a warm glow over the herds below.
