Serengeti National Park
Renowned for the Great Migration, the largest mammal migration on Earth, Serengeti National Park is a vast expanse of savannas, woodlands, and kopjes (granite rock outcroppings). Witness millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles thundering across the plains as they follow the rains in search of fresh grazing grounds.
