Serengeti National Park

Where Nature Roars, Time Stands Still, and Dreams Walk on Four Legs.

Tanzania’s Most Legendary Safari Destination

The Serengeti isn’t just a safari destination — it’s a rite of passage.
Spanning over 14,750 km² of open savannah, acacia woodland, and granite kopjes, the Serengeti National Park is the soul of East African wilderness. Its name, Siringet, comes from the Maasai, meaning “the place where the land runs on forever.” Here, you don’t just watch wildlife — you become part of the ancient rhythm of survival, silence, and splendor.
Every year, the park hosts the Great Migration — 1.5 million wildebeest, 250,000 zebras, and the predators who follow them.

Amboseli’s elephant sightings and Kilimanjaro backdrop make it a must-visit on any luxury Kenya safari.
