Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti is not a place you visit. It is a place that visits you — and stays. Stretching across 14,763 square kilometres of open savannah, acacia woodland, and kopje-studded plains, it is the stage for the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth. The Great Migration passes through here in its millions, but the Serengeti is not only about the herds. It is lion country — the densest lion population in Africa. It is the place where cheetahs hunt at dawn across open ground, where leopards drape themselves across fever trees, and where the sky at night requires no explanation. A safari here is not a tick on a list. It is a recalibration.
