The Serengeti National Park is a large national park in Serengeti area, Tanzania. It is most famous for its annual migration of over one million white bearded (or brindled) wildebeest and 200,000 zebra.

The name Serengeti is an approximation of  "endless plain," the name  used by the Maasai to describe the area hundreds of  years before any Europeans explored the unspoiled area.

The park covers 14,763 km  (5,700 square miles) of grassland plains and savanna as well as riverine forest and woodlands. The park lies in the north of the country, bordered to the north by the national Tanzania and Kenyan border, where it abuts the Masai Mara National Reserve.

The park is well known for its healthy stock of the "Big Five", named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters: the lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros and buffalo. These species remain the key attractions to tourists, but the park also supports many further species, including the cheetah, gazelle and giraffe, as well as a large and varied bird population.
