SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK – THE CROWN JEWEL OF AFRICAN SAFARIS

Welcome to Serengeti National Park, a legendary safari destination and one of the most celebrated wildlife reserves on Earth. Located in northern Tanzania, Serengeti is the beating heart of the African wilderness, home to the iconic Great Wildebeest Migration, the Big Five, and endless golden plains teeming with life. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Seven Natural Wonders of Africa nominee, the Serengeti is where dreams of the African safari come to life. At NK Safaris, we offer expertly guided adventures that allow you to experience this magical landscape like never before.

Why Serengeti Is World-Famous

Covering over 14,700 square kilometers, Serengeti National Park is a vast ecosystem of grasslands, savannahs, riverine forests, and woodlands. Its name comes from the Maasai word “Siringet,” meaning “endless plains”—a fitting description for this wildlife paradise. Serengeti is world-renowned for hosting the Great Migration, where more than 2 million wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles travel in a yearly circular route in search of fresh grazing, pursued by predators such as lions, hyenas, and crocodiles.

Wildlife Safari Experience in Serengeti

The wildlife density in Serengeti is unmatched. It is the best place in the world to see predator-prey interactions and witness nature’s raw beauty. Here are some highlights of what you might see on safari with NK Safaris:

• The Big Five: Lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and black rhino
• Great Migration: Massive herds crossing rivers and plains
• Cheetahs and Hyenas: Easily spotted in open plains
• Hippos and Crocodiles: In the Grumeti and Mara rivers
• Birdlife: Over 500 bird species, including ostriches, secretary birds, and vultures
• Rare sightings: Caracal, serval, bat-eared fox, and wild dogs

Each safari game drive is a new chapter in a living wildlife documentary.

The Great Wildebeest Migration

The Great Migration is the Serengeti’s most awe-inspiring spectacle and a top reason why people visit. The migration follows a seasonal pattern:

• December – March (Southern Serengeti): Calving season in Ndutu. Thousands of baby wildebeests are born. Ideal for predator sightings.
• April – June (Central to Western Corridor): Herds move towards the Grumeti River. Lush landscapes and dramatic river crossings.
• July – October (Northern Serengeti): The Mara River crossing into Kenya’s Maasai Mara. This is the most thrilling part of the migration.
• November (Back south): Herds return to the south in anticipation of the rains.

With NK Safaris, we help you time your trip perfectly based on migration movements, ensuring an unforgettable front-row seat to this natural wonder.
