Serengeti
Endless savannah plains and the annual Great Migration, one of the last epic wildlife spectacles on the planet.
Overview
The Serengeti's name comes from the Maasai word for 'endless plains,' and few places live up to their name so literally. Over two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle move through the ecosystem each year in the Great Migration, trailed by predators that make the region one of the most reliable places on Earth for big-cat sightings.
Best Time to Visit
June to September for the Great Migration river crossings in the north; January to March for calving season and dense predator activity in the south.
