Serengeti offers an unparalleled wildlife experience, featuring documented resident lion prides within a short one-hour game drive radius from Seronera. During the dry season, these prides gradually migrate west and north within the park's territories, eventually concentrating in the central region. This season provides an exceptional chance to observe lions in Central Serengeti, making it a top destination for wildlife enthusiasts.

Furthermore, Central Serengeti is renowned as one of Africa's premier spots for encountering the elusive leopard. With a stroke of luck, you might spot this majestic feline lounging in the branches of sausage trees along the tranquil banks of the Seronera River.

Often hailed as the Eighth Natural Wonder of the World, the Ngorongoro Crater stands as the largest intact crater globally. Formed around 2 million years ago from the eruption and collapse of the Ngorongoro volcano, its walls plummeted to form a natural enclosure with towering 600-meter walls. Today, spanning over 19 kilometers wide, the crater encompasses diverse habitats including expansive acacia forests, hippo-filled swamps, and vast open grasslands.

These varied environments are home to a rich array of wildlife, boasting over 30,000 animals such as elephants, warthogs, flamingos, impressive bird species, the elusive black rhinoceros, and all of Africa's iconic big cats. Against this backdrop, the Maasai people can often be spotted grazing their cattle alongside herds of buffalo and wildebeest.
