Serengeti National Park is Tanzania’s best-known national park, part of a vast ecosystem with more than 3 million large mammals. Its vegetation is primarily open grassland, though during severe droughts it can become almost entirely desert. In wetter areas, plants of the genus Cyperus are dominant.

After breakfast, continue your morning game drive in the Serengeti. If you’re lucky, you may encounter a pride of lions or a cheetah. Each year, around 2 million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles cross the plains in pursuit of rain and fresh grass, creating the spectacular Great Migration. Beyond its wildlife, the Serengeti’s vast golden grasslands, beautiful sunsets, and landscapes dotted with lone trees are quintessentially African. The park covers more than 14,000 square kilometers, nearly the size of Beijing, and borders Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
