Serengeti National Park — Zanzibar Tours

Serengeti National Park

Endless grasslands and the stage of the Great Migration

The Serengeti is Tanzania's best-known park, and its name comes from the Maasai word "siringet", meaning the place where the land runs on forever. Every year more than 1.5 million wildebeest, together with hundreds of thousands of zebra, travel in a great circle through the ecosystem, following the rain and fresh grass. Many people call it the greatest wildlife show on earth.

Best time to go: June to October for the northern river crossings; December to March for calving in the south
