Welcome to Serengeti National Park, Tanzania's oldest national park and a world-renowned UNESCO World Heritage site. Spanning roughly 14,763 square kilometers (5,700 square miles), the Serengeti is globally famous for its expansive savannas, dramatic rock outcrops known as kopjes, unmatched predator populations, and the annual Great Wildebeest Migration.
At African Traces, we organize tailored private safaris that allow you to experience the vastness and wild beauty of the Serengeti on your terms—whether you seek high-octane predator tracking, quiet wilderness, or breathtaking river crossings.
The heart of the park known for year-round resident wildlife, iconic acacia landscape, and high density of big cats including leopards and lions on granite kopjes.
Home to the Grumeti River. Known for large crocodile populations and dramatic river crossings during the Great Migration from May to July.
Features rolling hills and the Mara River. The stage for famous river crossings into Kenya's Maasai Mara between July and October.
Vast grassy plains where the migration pauses for calving season (December to March), attracting intense predator activity.
