Serengeti National Park
Tanzania

Serengeti National Park is a worldfamous wildlife reserve located in Tanzania. It is home to an incredible array of wildlife, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, zebras, wildebeest, and more. The vast open plains of the park provide a stunning backdrop for game viewing, while its woodlands, rivers, and marshlands make up the perfect habitat for its diverse range of animals. This park is also known for its annual wildebeest migration, during which millions of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle make their way across the park in search of fresh grazing grounds.

The best time to visit Serengeti National Park is during the dry season, which runs from June to October. During this time, the park is cooler and less humid, making it ideal for wildlife viewing. Additionally, the migrating herds of wildebeest and other animals are usually concentrated in the park during this period.

The Seronera Valley is the heart of the park and here the vegetation changes do acacia dotted plains, where lions and leopards are often spotted. The banks of the Seronera River are lined with lush palm trees, sausage trees and towering yellow fever acacias. The area around the river is abuzz with different bird species and large flocks of black-headed herons, marabou storks and various birds of prey. The Retima Hippo Pool can also be found in the Seronera region and it is here where you can get a good look at these gentle giants in their natural habitat.
