Serengeti Shall Not Die (German: Serengeti darf nicht sterben; also known as Serengeti ) is a 1959 German documentary film written and directed by Bernhard Grzimek. It was also the title of a book written by Bernhard Grzimek (with his son Michael included as a coauthor) which was published in 1961, translated from German and published by E. P.

His son, cinematographer Michael Grzimek, died on-location during the filming of the documentary when a plane he piloted collided with a vulture.
It won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 1960.
