Renowned for its legendary annual migration, millions of wildebeest traverse the plains alongside hundreds of thousands of zebras and Thomson’s gazelles in search of fresh grazing. Even outside the migration season, the Serengeti delivers exceptional wildlife encounters, with vast herds of buffalo, elephants, giraffes, and thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala, and Grant’s gazelle roaming its iconic plains — a safari experience unlike any other in Africa.
