The Serengeti is synonymous with the Great Migration, a natural spectacle where more than two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle follow the rains in search of fresh grazing. But the wildlife of the Serengeti extends far beyond the migration.
The park is home to the Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo – along with cheetahs that streak across the plains at breathtaking speeds. Leopards are often spotted lounging in the branches of acacia trees, while elephants roam in large herds across the savannah. Hippos and crocodiles dominate the rivers and wetlands, and birdwatchers will be enthralled by more than 500 recorded species, from brightly coloured bee-eaters to soaring vultures.
Every corner of the Serengeti reveals something different. One moment you may hear the roar of a lion echoing across the plains, and the next you might catch the silhouette of giraffes against a fiery African sunset.
The Serengeti offers an exceptional range of safari lodges and camps that immerse guests in its wilderness while providing world-class hospitality.
Namiri Plains is renowned as one of the best places in Africa to see cheetahs. Once closed to the public to protect the local cheetah population, the camp continues to champion conservation efforts. Secluded and peaceful, with the nearest camp more than an hour away, Namiri Plains offers unrivalled privacy and breathtaking views of the surrounding savannah. After a day of game drives, guests can relax by the pool or enjoy sundowners on a private deck as the sun dips below the horizon.
Dunia Camp is unique as the only all-female-run camp in the Serengeti. Set in the heart of the park, it lies directly in the path of the Great Migration, giving guests front-row seats to one of nature’s greatest dramas. Dunia offers just eight tents, creating an intimate atmosphere where eco-conscious practices blend seamlessly with exceptional comfort. Guests can also take to the skies on a hot air balloon safari, drifting silently over the plains as the wildlife stirs below.
Nyasi Migrational Camp is a luxury camp that moves with the seasons, relocating between the northern and southern Serengeti to follow the migration. This mobile concept ensures guests are always close to the action, whether it is calving season in the south or dramatic river crossings in the north. Evenings at Nyasi are magical, with fireside dining under the stars and the sounds of the wild echoing in the darkness.
