It’s designed for travelers who wish to experience the country’s incredible natural beauty and abundant wildlife in a short time.

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Arusha to the Serengeti, where the vast savannah and acacia-dotted landscape stretch endlessly before you. The Serengeti is famous for the Great Migration, one of nature’s greatest shows, where millions of wildebeest and zebras move across the plains followed by lions, cheetahs, and other predators. Even outside migration season, the park offers thrilling year-round wildlife viewing.
