Welcome to Southern Serengeti

Karibu Southern Serengeti

In the vast landscapes of the Serengeti, where the Southern Serengeti Safari takes place, the southern plains hold a tale as old as time. Indeed, nature’s drama unfolds with the raw intensity of the Wildebeest Calving season. As if obeying a mystic call, thousands upon thousands of wildebeests gather, turning the plains into a sea of life, while a rhythmic pulse echoes across the land.

Each year, this region becomes the stage for one of nature’s most significant performances. Here, mothers and calves, driven by instinct, navigate the challenges and triumphs of birth in the wild. Moreover, predators and prey engage in an age-old saga, with each side battling for survival within the delicate balance of the Serengeti ecosystem.

In these southern expanses, the air is thick with anticipation. As a result, every moment holds the promise of wonder. Whether you’re an experienced traveler or new to African safaris, a Southern Serengeti Safari is not just a destination; it’s a journey into the heart of nature’s grand theatre.

Olduvai Gorge

The Olduvai Gorge is known as the “Cradle of Mankind”. It is where the oldest archaeological discoveries were made by Richard Leakey and his family. The Leakey’s discovered the remains of the very first hominids in Olduvai Gorge in the early 20th Century. They went on to make some groundbreaking discoveries with most of them older than 2 million years ago. The fossils include that of extinct animals that roamed the area and the more recent stone age man.
