About
The Serengeti Visitor Centre sits at Seronera, inside Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania. It is the park's main interpretive centre, and it makes a good first stop for anyone heading out on safari.
What you will find
The centre's exhibits explain the Serengeti ecosystem as a whole, the seasonal movement of animals known as the Great Migration, and the wide range of plants and animals that live across the park. For many visitors, seeing these displays before a game drive turns the landscape you see from the vehicle into something you understand more fully.
- The ecosystem: how the grasslands, rivers and woodlands fit together
- The Great Migration: the movement of large herds and the forces that drive it
- Biodiversity: the species that make the park home, from grazers to predators
Planning your visit
Seronera is one of the central parts of the park, so the centre fits naturally into a day of game viewing in the surrounding area. Allow time to look through the exhibits before setting out, and consider returning to them later in your stay, when you have seen some of the animals for yourself.
To check current details before you travel, you can call the centre on +255 272 504 081. It is also listed as the Serengeti National Park Visitor Center and the Seronera Visitor Centre, so those names may help when searching.
Visitors who want background on one of Africa's best-known wildlife areas will find the centre useful, whether they arrive with a detailed itinerary or simply a curiosity about the park.
