Key Attractions & Experiences in Serengeti National Park
- The Great Migration – Nature’s Grand Spectacle
Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles embark on a perilous journey across the Serengeti and into the Masai Mara in search of greener pastures. Witnessing this dramatic migration, complete with thrilling river crossings and predator-prey encounters, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Best Time to Witness: June to October (river crossings) and January to March (calving season in the southern Serengeti).
- Big Five & Predators of the Serengeti
Home to the famous Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—the Serengeti is a prime destination for spotting Africa’s most sought-after wildlife. The park is particularly renowned for its high density of big cats, offering excellent chances to witness lions hunting, elusive leopards resting in trees, and cheetahs sprinting across the plains.
- Scenic Hot Air Balloon Safaris
For a truly magical perspective of the Serengeti, embark on a sunrise hot air balloon safari. As you float above the golden savannah, you’ll witness herds of animals roaming freely while the early morning light bathes the landscape in a breathtaking glow.
Alpha Adventure Safaris offers exclusive hot air balloon packages, complete with a champagne breakfast in the wild.
- The Seronera Valley – Predator Paradise
This central region of the park is a hotspot for predator action. Known as the “big cat capital” of Africa, Seronera Valley is teeming with lions, leopards, and cheetahs, making it a must-visit for wildlife photographers and enthusiasts alike.
- Cultural Encounters with the Maasai People
A visit to the Serengeti isn’t complete without meeting the indigenous Maasai people. With Alpha Adventure Safaris, you can experience authentic cultural interactions, learn about traditional Maasai customs, and witness their captivating warrior dances.
