Serengeti National Park is located in North Central Tanzania, just adjacent to the Kenyan border and adjoining the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
The Tanzania safari park was established as a game reserve between 1937 and 1940, and in 1951, it was fully designated as a national park, covering an area of about 14,763 km2, harboring millions of wildlife and thousands of bird species.
It is famous for the largest number of wildebeests intermingled with zebras, filling the endless plains of the open savanna vegetation of Serengeti.
This 3-Day Serengeti Safari from Arusha is a short tour but more rewarding, as even if you visit when the migration of the mighty wildebeests is off, you can’t miss seeing them graze within.
