Herds of up to 300 elephants prowl the dry parts of the river, digging wells to bring water to the surface. Huge boas climb trees and nest among the branches, scaring the more than 550 species of birds that inhabit the park.

Its fame, however, is due to its role as the scene of the Great Migration. Every year, more than 1.5 million wildebeest, a good number of gazelles and a small number of zebras in search of greener pastures move from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara, eventually returning to their point of departure.
Not surprisingly, the crowded Serengeti plains offer some of the best safaris in Tanzania and those who visit the park in the right season enjoy incredible views of this natural phenomenon.
The Serengeti terrain is home to volcanic grasslands and vast plains interrupted by rocky outcrops, rivers, volcanoes and forests.
The park offers exceptional year-round sightings, a huge population of predators and a long list of bird species. Most of the action takes place near the rivers and watering holes, where the animals congregate.
Besides being home to countless crocodiles and hippos, the banks of these bodies of water are the perfect vantage point from which to witness the natural spectacle, be it a herd of elephants cooling off or lions and crocodiles competing for prey.
Highlights:
- Extending over 1.5 million hectares, the Serengeti is part of the Great Migration scenario.
