The Serengeti National Park, Tanzania's third-largest park, is a breathtaking expanse. The southern region features expansive grasslands stretching as far as the eye can see, while the north and west are adorned with open woodlands and rolling hills. Together with the Masai Mara, the Serengeti hosts the Great Migration, a spectacle where millions of wildebeest and zebras traverse the land—an unparalleled natural marvel.
