The Serengeti
Home of the Great Migration
The Serengeti has become synonymous with the African safari. Its vast plains provide the stage for the Great Migration. Combined with exceptional predator sightings, extraordinary wildlife diversity and some of Africa's most exclusive lodges, it remains one of the continent's most iconic destinations.
