Serengeti National Park – Africa’s Greatest Safari
Serengeti Safaris & Tours – Beyond Africa Safaris
Overview – Why Serengeti is Africa’s Most Iconic Safari Destination

The Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Covering nearly 15,000 km², it is the stage for the world-famous Great Migration — where over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles thunder across the plains each year in search of fresh grazing.

Beyond the migration, Serengeti is home to the Big Five, cheetahs, giraffes, and over 500 bird species, making it a year-round safari paradise. With luxury lodges, mobile tented camps, and fly-in packages, Beyond Africa Safaris designs tailor-made Serengeti journeys for honeymooners, families, and adventurers from the USA, Europe, Australia, and Canada.
