Serengeti National Park
Discover Big Cat Country
The Serengeti is the lifeblood of Africa’s wildlife. It boasts more lions than anywhere else in Africa, earning it the name “Big Cat Country,” and it’s home to the Great Migration of almost two million wildebeest. Best of all, safari camps are relocated seasonally to put you closest to the animals.
Eastern Serengeti Nature Refuge
Enjoy Exclusive Access to Wildlife
This private, 10,000-acre nature refuge has made remarkable strides in the conservation of wildlife and landscapes—and it’s only accessible to Thomson guests. Stretch your legs on walks during the day and witness nocturnal wildlife behavior during a night wildlife drive, both restricted in the national parks.
