Explore the Untamed Wilderness of Serengeti National Park

Welcome to Serengeti National Park, one of the world’s most iconic safari destinations and the crown jewel of Tanzania’s wildlife conservation areas. Famous for its vast plains, abundant wildlife, and the awe-inspiring Great Migration, Serengeti is a must-visit for any safari enthusiast. Whether you dream of witnessing herds of wildebeest crossing the Mara River or tracking the elusive Big Five, Zayla Tours offers expertly crafted safaris to immerse you in the magic of the Serengeti.

The Great Migration: A Natural Wonder

The Great Migration is the Serengeti’s most famous spectacle, a breathtaking phenomenon where over 1.5 million wildebeest, along with hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles, embark on an epic journey in search of greener pastures. This massive movement of wildlife, followed closely by predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas, is one of nature’s most dramatic events.

With Zayla Tours, you can experience this extraordinary event up close, whether you’re visiting the Serengeti during the calving season in Ndutu, or watching the perilous river crossings in the northern Serengeti near the Mara River. We tailor our itineraries to place you at the heart of the action, providing unparalleled opportunities for photography and wildlife viewing.

Serengeti’s Diverse Ecosystems

Spanning over 14,750 square kilometers, Serengeti National Park boasts diverse landscapes that range from vast open grasslands to rocky outcrops known as kopjes, rivers, and woodlands. Each region within the park offers its own unique appeal and wildlife experiences:

• Central Serengeti (Seronera Valley): Known for year-round game viewing, the Seronera Valley is the best place to spot the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos. This area also offers excellent opportunities for seeing cheetahs and hyenas in action.
• Western Corridor: Bordering the Grumeti River, the Western Corridor is famous for its annual wildebeest migration and thrilling predator-prey encounters. The Grumeti River is home to some of the largest Nile crocodiles, making it a hotspot for dramatic wildlife sightings.
• Northern Serengeti: This remote and less-visited part of the park is where the dramatic Mara River crossings take place, offering one of the best places to witness the sheer power and determination of the migrating herds as they brave crocodile-infested waters.
• Southern Serengeti (Ndutu Plains): From December to March, the southern plains become the calving grounds for wildebeest, with thousands of newborns taking their first steps. This area is also ideal for watching predator activity as lions, leopards, and hyenas are drawn to the vulnerable young animals.

Year-Round Wildlife Viewing

While the Great Migration is the Serengeti’s main attraction, the park offers exceptional wildlife viewing throughout the year. The dry season (June to October) is the best time to see predators in action, as animals congregate around watering holes. During the wet season (November to May), the landscape turns lush and green, attracting a wide variety of migratory birds, making it a paradise for birdwatchers.
