Discover the endless plains of the Serengeti
The Serengeti lives up to every imagined depiction you may have of a typical African safari. Vast open spaces dotted with acacia trees and wildlife, this is the African dream. The name Serengeti originates from the Maasai word “Siringit” which means “the place where the land moves forever” and this definitely describes the endless plains of the area. Although the region is known for its expansive grasslands, there are many different ecosystems that make up the Serengeti, allowing for an abundance of wildlife and birdlife.
"Africa changes you forever, like nowhere on earth. Once you have been there, you will never be the same"
Brian Jackman
Tanzania’s centerpiece, the Serengeti National Park, lies in the North West of the country and the conservation area continues into the Mara National Park in Kenya. Known as the Serengeti Mara Ecosystem, this conservancy is the largest and most protected in the world. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the site of one of the natural wonders of the world, the Serengeti will change you.
Undeniably the highlight to any visit to the Serengeti is the great migration.
The annual migration of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles, sees over two million animals cross the plains of the Serengeti in search of feeding grounds. The migration spends more than ten months a year in Tanzania and this odyssey of survival takes the wildlife across the crocodile-infested waters of the Grumeti River in Tanzania as well as the Mara river in Kenya. The age-old instinct in them so strong that nothing holds them back.
Other highlights include the predators that follow and stalk the migratory animals. The large population of lions, cheetahs and leopards are often witnessed and create an atmosphere of anticipation and excitement. The ground pangolin makes this territory home and is one of the rarest African animals to be found. This is why the Serengeti is one of the most sought after game viewing destinations in the world. It is nature’s masterpiece!
