The Park is located at 335 kilometers from Arusha with an area of 14,763 sq. kilometers stretching north to Kenya and bordering Lake Victoria to the west. It may take 5-6 hours at a normal driving speed. Like an unbroken thread, the annual migration of the wildebeest and zebra binds the Serengeti’s ecosystem much as it has done for the past two million years. Upon this migration, triggered by the rains, almost all things depend.

Annual migration involves more than six million hooves pounding the legendary endless plains as more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelle join the wildebeest trek for green pastures so as keep their lives going. There is no real beginning or end to a wildebeest’s journey. Its life is endless pilgrimage, neverceasing, incoming and outgoing of millions in a constant search for food and water. The only beginning is at moment of birth.

Serengeti offers the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa, great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, thousands upon thousands eland, topi, kongoni, impala and grant gazelle. Lion prides feast on the abundance of plain grazers, leopards haunt the acacia tree lining the Seronera River and cheetahs prowls the southeastern plains. Over 500 bird species ranging from the outsized ostrich and bizarre secretary bird of the open grassland to the black eagles that soar effortlessly above Lobo hills. Hot air balloon safari offer the best views of the animals.
