Serengeti wins the title of Africa’s Leading National Park at the World Travel Awards
Serengeti National Park, Tanzania’s emblem, has once again been rewarded: for the sixth consecutive year, it has been named Africa’s best national park in 2024 by the World Travel Awards (WTA). This prestigious title confirms what many travellers already know: Serengeti is a must-visit destination for experiencing an unforgettable safari in Africa.
Why is Serengeti considered the best national park in Africa?
Located in northern Tanzania, Serengeti covers more than 14,700 km² of savannah, endless plains and protected ecosystems. This park is world-renowned for its great annual migration, during which nearly two million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles cross its plains in search of greener pastures. This spectacular phenomenon is one of the largest movements of land animals in the world.
But that is not all. The park is also home to exceptional wildlife:
- The Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo)
- Cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, ostriches, crocodiles, hippopotamuses…
- More than 500 bird species
International recognition for Tanzania
At the World Travel Awards gala ceremony for Africa, held in October 2024 in Mombasa, Kenya, Serengeti outperformed every other park on the continent, thereby consolidating its global reputation.
Tanzania was also doubly rewarded this year, as Mount Kilimanjaro was named the best tourist attraction in Africa in 2024. This legendary peak, which rises to 5,895 metres, attracts more than 50,000 hikers from around the world every year.
Preparing your trip to Serengeti
Visiting Serengeti National Park is a unique experience. To make the most of it, it is advisable to use a travel agency specialising in safaris in Tanzania, which will know how to arrange a tailor-made itinerary according to your wishes (the Great Migration, photographic safaris, hot-air balloon flights, an extension to Zanzibar…).
Among the options, you can choose between:
- Un safari privé en 4×4 avec guide francophone
- Une expérience en camp de tentes de luxe en pleine savane
- Une combinée Serengeti + Ngorongoro + Tarangire pour une immersion complète dans les merveilles de la Tanzanie
