Serengeti

Endless plains stretch as far as the eye can see, hosting vast congregations of mammals, making the Serengeti an unparalleled spectacle.

No introductions are really needed for Africa’s most iconic national park – the Serengeti. Renowned for a reason, this expansive ecosystem stands as one of the world’s last untamed wilderness areas. Endless plains stretch as far as the eye can see, hosting vast congregations of mammals, making it an unparalleled spectacle.

The park’s crowning glory is the legendary Wildebeest Migration, where over 1.5 million wildebeest traverse the plains, following the life-giving rainclouds that nourish the grasslands below. This breath-taking phenomenon alone is bound to capture your heart. However, the avian diversity in this park is equally extraordinary, with over 500 recorded species. Among them is the endemic Grey-breasted Spurfowl and numerous near-endemics like the Abyssinian Wheatear, Red-throated Tit, Rufous-tailed Weaver, and Grey-crested Helmetshrike. Our birding checklist will also include sought-after species such as the White-crested Helmetshrike, Meyer’s Parrot, Yellow-throated Longclaw, and Zitting, Croaking, Desert Cisticolas, White-headed and Black Sawwings, and Paradise, Pin-tailed and Straw-tailed Whydahs.
