Τhe online marketplace for African safaris SafariBookings.com conducted a study to determine the 50 best African safari parks for 2023. For the fourth consecutive time, Serengeti National Park in Tanzania was the clear winner, which will be no surprise to safari enthusiasts. The Serengeti received an overall rating of 4.87 out of 5, which was significantly higher than every other park.
A total of 1,380 reviews were contributed to the study by safari tourists from 107 countries. The remaining 1,114 park reviews were written by renowned international safari-industry experts, including guidebook authors working with Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, Frommer’s, Bradt Travel Guides and Footprint.
The Serengeti is the poster child for the East African safari. This vast park, one of Africa’s largest, has an astonishing array of wildlife that ranges across landscapes and habitats of singular beauty. The annual 2.5-million-strong migration of wildebeest and zebra through the park may capture the attention, and rightly so, as one of nature’s grandest spectacles. But the Serengeti is a year-round proposition even when the herds move on.
Why do so many travelers and safari experts rate the Serengeti as their favorite safari destination?
The Serengeti’s fourth successive victory as Africa’s best safari park is a remarkable and thoroughly deserved achievement. This is especially the case given the high standard of competition in Tanzania and farther afield – across East and southern Africa, Ethiopia and Madagascar.
