The Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania was established in 1940 and stretches over 1.5 million hectares of virgin savannah in northern Tanzania in East Africa. It is famous for the largest annual grazing migration in the world, with over 1.5 million blue wildebeest alone crossing the lands to chase the rains. Not surprisingly, it is on the bucket list of travellers around the globe who come here to spot and photograph the wild animals in their natural habitat.
The Melia Serengeti Lodge is located within the park. Rooms with Maasai tradition-inspired decor frame the Serengeti plains. Guests can arrange for activities such as a picnic in the plains surrounded by grazing zebras and wildebeest, explore traditional house building, crafts and dances at a Maasai village, spot animals from a balloon safari as well as seek out the ‘Big Five’ – the lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros – with a game drive guided by expert safari guides to learn about the World Heritage Site’s wildlife and unique ecology.
