The Serengeti is home to several resident lion prides within an hour’s game drive from Seronera. During the dry season, these prides tend to shift west and north in their territories, concentrating in the central part of the park. This is an excellent time for lion sightings in the Central Serengeti. The area is also one of the best in Africa for spotting the elusive leopard, which can sometimes be seen lounging in the branches of sausage trees along the Seronera River.
