From January to April, the wildebeests give birth to their calves, joined by hundreds of thousands of plains zebras and Thomson's gazelles. This abundance of prey attracts large predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. The area also hosts a variety of smaller animals, including rock hyraxes, bat-eared foxes, mongooses, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons, and African hares, along with nearly 500 bird species.

Alongside wildebeests and zebras, you might spot predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs. You'll spend another night camping in the Seronera area, surrounded by the sounds of the wild.
