Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti is one of the most famous parks in Africa and is synonymous with wildlife and classic African scenery. It is Tanzania’s oldest park and a Unesco World Heritage Site.
Tanzania’s oldest national park is also one of the world’s best known wildlife sanctuaries. At 14,763 sq. Kms, Serengeti was second in size only to Ruaha National Park, now third in size after the newly annouced Nyerere National Park of the Selous Game Reserve. Serengeti National Park is certainly one of Tanzania’s most precious jewels. Protected for almost a century now, the sanctuary was declared a national park in 1959 and is also a world heritage site and an international biosphere reserve, alongside Ngorongoro.
The Serengeti is home to the world’s largest and most spectacular wildlife migration, at the peak of which it contains the largest concentration of mammals on earth. Bordering Ngorongoro to the south and south east, Kenya’s Maasai Mara to the North, Maswa Game Reserve to the west and south west, Loliondo Game Reserve to the east and reaching within 8km of Lake Victoria to the North West, any safari here promises wildlife galore, especially when the annual migration of plains game and their attending predators is in residence.
