Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti covers almost 15,000 square kilometres of open grassland, acacia woodland and granite kopjes. It is home to large prides of lion, cheetah hunting on the short-grass plains and leopards resting in the sausage trees along the Seronera River.

Around two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle move through the park in a year-long circle. In January to March they calve on the southern plains; from June they head north and west, and from July to October they cross the Mara River in the far north.

Most of our northern safaris spend at least two nights here so there is time for full-day game drives and for following the herds wherever they are that month.
