A Guided Serengeti Safari to Serengeti National Park
A visit to Serengeti National Park is a must on any Tanzanian safari. The Serengeti stands out due to its enormous size, distinctive ecology, and the world-renowned yearly migration; it was recently voted Africa’s Leading National Park (2020) for the second time in a row.
Named after a Maasai phrase meaning “endless plains,” the Serengeti National Park is the largest in northern Tanzania, spanning 12,000 square miles (30,000 square kilometers).
Because of the importance of its ecosystem, Serengeti National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are a lot of zebras, gazelles, and wildebeests in the Serengeti. There are a significant number of cheetahs, an endangered species, and an estimated 4,000 lions in the Serengeti. Also, several bird species are unique to Tanzania, and the Serengeti is home to the continent’s largest population of ostriches. Serengeti National Park is historically and scientifically significant because its environment is thought to have changed relatively little in the last million years. Serengeti National Park is primarily known for the Great Migration, the biggest migratory pattern on the planet, which occurs every year when millions of animals make their way into Tanzania.
No good Tanzanian safari would be complete without seeing Serengeti National Park. Seeing wildlife in their natural habitat is an unforgettable experience, and the breathtaking scenery is a photographer’s paradise.
Top Reasons to go to Serengeti National Park
A safari to Serengeti National Park should be a part of the top Tanzania tour. The number of reasons to visit Serengeti National Park is almost equal to the number of species found there; however, we have selected the most compelling ones for your consideration.
1. The Great Wildebeest Migration
In the Serengeti, there is an annual migration of animals that is the biggest on Earth. Upon entering Tanzania, more than one million animals ford the Grumeti River. Countless animals, including gazelles, zebras, and wildebeests, will swarm the plains of Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Photographers in particular should bring their A-game to capture unforgettable images of Africa’s majestic animals; no other destination offers anything like this.
2. Breathtaking Landscapes
The Serengeti is a seemingly unending savannah, with miles of tall grasses and the characteristic acacia trees that are so characteristic of Africa dotting the landscape. While butterflies and birds with vibrant colors flit through the trees, predators swoop across the brown grass. A breathtaking sunset over the Serengeti’s expansive grasslands is a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness the awe-inspiring beauty of Africa’s natural landscape. Many tourists’ ideal East African safari begins with this park, and they are not disappointed.
3. Unique National Park Wildlife
When compared to other African ecosystems, Serengeti National Park is known to boast an exceptionally high degree of biodiversity. In addition, the Serengeti is a park where people can really walk into the past because it is believed that a lot of the plants found there have remained mostly unmodified for more than a million years.
The Big Five—the most dangerous creatures in Africa—are practically guaranteed to be spotted by visitors. This includes the notoriously elusive leopards and rhinoceros. Cheetahs, serval cats, and wild dogs are just a few of the unique wildlife that can be seen here.
4. Meet the Maasai
The Maasai people have lived and farmed in the Serengeti region for generations, predating the arrival of European explorers in East Africa. There are traditional Maasai settlements just outside Serengeti National Park. Guests on a cultural tour can meet members of this indigenous community and gain an intimate understanding of their long history of self-reliance and profound respect for the natural world.
5. Night Safari
A night safari is one of the most memorable things you can do in Serengeti National Park. Visitors can view predators in the act of hunting and get up close and personal with the rarely seen nocturnal animals by leaving after dark. We at Kabira Safaris are well-versed in guiding night safaris and always have all the gear you need for an unforgettable African adventure. Get in touch with us if you want to know more about this unforgettable Serengeti Night Safari.
6. Serengeti balloon Safari
If you want to see the Serengeti like never before, from above, in a hot air balloon, you can’t do it from a dusty road or track. The enchanted flight over the African plains in a hot air balloon is the perfect romantic getaway, honeymoon, or once in a lifetime family holiday. With its bird’s-eye perspective of the millions of animals making their way into Tanzania, this one-of-a-kind safari experience is highly recommended during the Serengeti Migration.
7. Luxury lodges
Travelers on safari will spend their days exploring the Serengeti, but they will unwind in one of the several five-star lodges located within or close to the park.

Serengeti – A Wildlife Photographer’s Guide
Serengeti Safari: Best time to go
June–September or late December–March are prime times to see the Serengeti. During certain times of year, visitors to the Serengeti can expect perfect weather—warm sunshine with little possibility of rain. Having said that, you can experience a little congestion in certain Serengeti regions (like Seronera) during certain months. Although it may be damp, animals are typically quite active and easy to see during the rainy season (April–June or November) if you are seeking active wildlife. Photographers may, for instance, take pictures of elephants giggling as they pelt each other with water during the rainy season, or get high-contrast shots of zebras striding across lush, verdant grass.
One of Tanzania’s most impressive national parks, Serengeti National Park warrants at least a few days of exploration. Seronera Valley, the Western Corridor, the Kogatende regions, the Southern Plains, and the Northern Lobo are among the most popular destinations. Take your time and savor every breathtaking aspect of Serengeti National Park rather than hurrying through this world-renowned attraction.
