Serengeti National Park – Tanzania’s Iconic Safari Destination with Atih Safaris

Overview

Serengeti National Park is arguably Tanzania’s most famous wildlife sanctuary and one of Africa’s premier safari destinations. Spanning approximately 14,750 square kilometers of vast savannah, acacia woodlands, and rolling plains, the Serengeti offers an unparalleled wildlife experience that draws visitors from around the world.

Known as the home of the legendary Great Wildebeest Migration, Serengeti’s ecosystem supports an extraordinary diversity of animals including the Big Five — lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes, and rhinos — alongside countless other species.

Wildlife Highlights

• Witness millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles as they traverse the plains in search of fresh grazing during the Great Migration (typically June to October for the Northern Serengeti).

• Spot powerful predators including lions, cheetahs, and leopards in dynamic hunting scenes.

• Observe large herds of elephants and buffalo roaming freely across diverse habitats.

• Encounter rare species such as the endangered black rhino and elusive wild dogs.

• Rich birdlife featuring species like vultures, secretary birds, and kori bustards.

The Serengeti landscape is varied and breathtaking:
