Overview

Where the Land Runs On Forever

The Serengeti is the beating heart of the African safari � a vast tapestry of golden grasslands, acacia woodland and ancient granite kopjes that has captivated travellers for generations.

Its name comes from the Maasai word siringet, "the place where the land runs on forever." Across these endless plains, more than 1.5 million wildebeest follow the rains in the greatest overland migration on Earth, shadowed by lions, cheetahs and leopards in one of the planet's most intact predator�prey ecosystems.

At Baobab Safari Adventure, we craft tailor-made journeys that place you in the right region at the right time of year � from the calving plains of the south to the dramatic Mara River crossings in the north � all with private guides, premium vehicles and handpicked lodges.
