The Serengeti is the lifeblood of Africa’s wildlife. It boasts more lions than anywhere else in Africa, earning it the name “Big Cat Country,” and it's home to the Great Migration of almost 2 million wildebeest. Best of all, we relocate safari camps seasonally to put you closest to the animals. “Epic” barely begins to describe the Serengeti’s grasslands that stretch beyond the eye, its acacia-covered plains where lions roam. The name comes from a Maasai word that means “the place where the land runs on forever,” and it’s easy to see why: these 5,700 square miles of ancient wilderness never run out of the horizon. This park is Tanzania’s–and arguably, the world’s–premier safari location. Its main draw is the chance to witness the Great Migration, where some 2 million wildebeest and zebra move in a continuous, annual cycle through the rolling savanna hills in pursuit of the rains. When you go determined what part of the migration you’ll see. From January to March is the calving season, when baby animals are born in southern Serengeti.
