About Serengeti
The Serengeti, meaning "endless plains" in the Maasai language, is Tanzania's oldest and most popular national park. This UNESCO World Heritage site is renowned for its annual migration of over 2 million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles.
The park's ecosystem is one of the oldest on earth, with essential features of climate, vegetation, and fauna barely changing in the past million years. This makes it a unique living laboratory for ecological research and wildlife conservation.
