Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park – Where the Wild Roams Free

Explore Africa’s Most Iconic Safari Destination with Mashirima Tours

Welcome to Serengeti National Park, a timeless wilderness and one of the greatest safari destinations in the world. Located in northern Tanzania and covering over 14,750 square kilometers, the Serengeti is famous for its endless golden plains, dramatic predator-prey interactions, and the awe-inspiring Great Migration—a spectacle that draws travelers from around the globe.

Whether you're dreaming of lion sightings under an acacia tree or watching thousands of wildebeest cross crocodile-infested rivers, Mashirima Tours is here to guide you on an unforgettable Serengeti adventure.

The Great Migration – Nature’s Greatest Show

The Serengeti is the stage for the Great Wildebeest Migration, a breathtaking annual journey of over 2 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles in search of greener pastures. This cycle of life and death spans the year, offering different spectacles depending on the season:

• December – March (Calving Season): In the southern Serengeti, thousands of newborns are born daily—attracting predators in high numbers.
• May – July (Grumeti River Crossing): Herds thunder northward through central and western Serengeti—watch dramatic river crossings and predator chases.
• August – October (Mara River Crossing): The most dramatic and iconic scene as animals brave crocodile-infested waters near the northern Serengeti.
• November: Short rains bring the herds back to the south, completing the cycle.

With Mashirima Tours, you can time your safari to witness the most thrilling events of the migration.

Wildlife Like Nowhere Else

Serengeti is home to Africa’s Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—as well as cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, and over 500 species of birds. Its wide-open savannahs and kopjes (rocky outcrops) make it ideal for spotting:

• Lion prides lounging under the sun
• Cheetahs hunting on the plains
• Leopards draped in acacia trees
• Towering elephant herds and playful baboon troops
• Rare species like caracals, bat-eared foxes, and aardwolves

Every game drive in the Serengeti is different—offering fresh surprises at every turn.
