Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania is a top choice for those looking for self-drive tours. The park is especially well-known for the annual migration of wildebeest and zebras that takes place from July to September. During this season, these stunning herds make their way north from the lush southern plains in search of fresh grazing areas. Many must navigate the treacherous waters of the Grumeti River, infamous for its crocodile population.

Self-drive adventurers exploring Serengeti National Park can head to the Lobo Hills to catch glimpses of majestic black eagles or visit the granite formations of the Moru Kopjes, where black rhinos are often spotted. This incredible park is recognised for hosting the largest animal migration in the world, with over 1.5 million blue wildebeest and 250,000 zebras, along with smaller groups of Thomson’s gazelles and elands. Furthermore, the Serengeti proudly claims the highest lion population in Africa.
