Serengeti National Park is the largest park in the northern circuit of Tanzania, named after the Maasai word "Siringet," meaning endless plains. Covering approximately 25,000 km², it is home to the largest remaining unaltered animal migration in the world, where over one million wildebeest, along with hundreds of thousands of other ungulates, engage in a 1,000 km long annual circular trek.
The park is inhabited by animals such as buffalo, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, lions, leopards, warthogs, jackals, hartebeests, and more. The northern part of Serengeti is hillier and rocky, while the west features Grumeti, valleys, rivers, and forests. Serengeti also has “kopjes,” granite outcrops rising from the plains. It's an immense and stunning landscape; a vast sky country that feels like untamed wilderness.
