A world of wild wonder
Welcome to the Serengeti
The Serengeti is one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife destinations, known for open savannahs, big-cat country and the seasonal movement of vast wildebeest herds.
From sunrise game drives to quiet evenings beneath wide African skies, every region offers a different perspective on this remarkable ecosystem.
What makes it extraordinary
Three reasons to fall for the Serengeti
Iconic wildlife encounters
Look for lions, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs and a rich variety of plains wildlife across an immense natural habitat.
The Great Migration
Follow the seasonal movement of wildebeest and zebra as they travel in search of fresh grazing and water.
Landscapes that stay with you
Golden grasslands, rocky kopjes and dramatic skies create a different scene with every game drive.
The Great Migration
Wild and diverse
Each year, enormous herds of wildebeest and zebra move through the Serengeti ecosystem in response to rainfall and fresh grass. The journey brings changing scenes, from grazing herds on open plains to dramatic river regions.
Timing and locations vary with the seasons. Rising Journey Expeditions can help shape your safari around the regions and experiences that fit your travel dates.
