  • Seronera Valley predators

The Serengeti is the heartbeat of African wildlife. The ecosystem pulses with the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth — the annual migration of over 1.5 million wildebeest and 250,000 zebra. Predator densities here are among the highest in Africa. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, and wild dogs all share the plains. The central Seronera Valley offers year-round game viewing, while the northern Mara River corridor delivers the dramatic river crossings between July and October. The southern short-grass plains are calving grounds from January to March — arguably the most emotional wildlife experience on the continent.
