Serengeti National Park, located in Tanzania, is one of Africa’s most famous wildlife reserves and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Covering over 14,750 km², it is home to the Great Migration, where over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move in search of fresh grazing, followed by predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. The park also hosts the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino) and diverse landscapes, including savannas, woodlands, and riverine forests. The best time to visit depends on wildlife movements: December–March for calving season and June–October for river crossings. Entry fees are around $70 per day, and visitors can experience game drives, balloon safaris, and cultural tours. The park is accessible via Seronera Airstrip or a 7-hour drive from Arusha.
