Serengeti National Park

Spanning over 14,750 square kilometers across northern Tanzania, Serengeti National Park stands as one of the most celebrated UNESCO World Heritage sites on Earth. The sweeping grass plains, granite kopjes, and riverine forests of Serengeti National Park host an incredible concentration of free-roaming wildlife, including over 3,000 lions, 1,000 leopards, and vast herds of elephants and buffaloes. As a cornerstone of African safari travel, Serengeti National Park protects an unbroken natural haven where predator and prey interact in their purest form.
