What to Experience

Big Five Safaris

Lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos - all in one ecosystem. The Serengeti's wide-open plains offer arguably the finest game viewing conditions on the planet.

Balloon Safaris

Drift silently over endless plains at sunrise in a hot air balloon, watching herds of wildebeest stretch to the horizon. Champagne breakfast on the savanna follows every flight.

Ngorongoro Crater

A volcanic caldera sheltering over 25,000 animals in a natural amphitheatre - one of the highest densities of wildlife anywhere on earth, just a day's drive from the Serengeti.

Masai Mara
The Experience

Serengeti & Masai Mara

The Serengeti-Mara ecosystem is the stage for the Great Migration — the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth.

The Mara River crossing - where hundreds of thousands of wildebeest plunge into crocodile-infested waters - is one of the most dramatic natural events on earth, typically occurring between July and October. The predator-prey dynamics that play out on these plains have been filmed for countless documentaries, making the Serengeti perhaps the most famous wildlife destination in the world.
