Serengeti National Park

​

Endless Plains. Untamed Drama.

​

Serengeti National Park is Africa’s most legendary safari destination. Covering nearly 15,000 square kilometers of vast savannah, golden plains, rocky kopjes, and river systems, it delivers one of the richest wildlife experiences on earth.

​

The name “Serengeti” comes from the Maasai word Siringet, meaning “the endless plains” — and once you stand there, you understand why.

​

Landscape & Ecosystems

​

The Serengeti is incredibly diverse:

• Endless short-grass plains (south)

• Acacia-dotted savannah (central)

• Rocky kopjes (perfect predator lookouts)

• Riverine forests (north & west)

• Grumeti and Mara river systems

This diversity supports one of the largest concentrations of wildlife in Africa.
