Northern Tanzania
Serengeti National Park
"Endless plains, timeless rhythms"
About Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park is Tanzania's oldest and most iconic national park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site spanning nearly 15,000 square kilometres. The name comes from the Maasai word "siringet," meaning endless plains — and once you stand on its golden savannah, you understand why. This is where the Great Migration unfolds, with over two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle thundering across the Mara River in one of nature's most dramatic spectacles. From the vast southern plains to the wooded northern hills, the Serengeti offers year-round wildlife viewing of extraordinary density: lion prides, solitary leopards, cheetah sprints, elephant herds, and over 500 bird species. A Balbina Safari here means private concessions, expert guides who read the bush like a book, and a front-row seat to Africa's greatest wildlife theater.
