Wildlife
What You Might Encounter
Wildebeest
Over 1.5 million wildebeest complete an annual circuit across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem — the largest terrestrial mammal migration on the planet.
Lion
The Serengeti supports the world's largest lion population, with prides spread across every ecosystem zone from kopjes to riverine forest.
Leopard
Seronera's rocky outcrops and sausage trees are among the most reliable places in Africa to spot leopard.
Cheetah
The open short-grass plains of the southern Serengeti offer exceptional cheetah viewing, especially during the dry season.
African Wild Dog
Increasingly rare, the painted wolf is an occasional treasure — pack sightings in the Serengeti are a highlight for any safari veteran.
Black Rhino
One of Africa's healthiest wild black rhino populations — Ngorongoro's crater floor is one of the best places on earth to see them.
Flamingo
Lake Magadi in the crater floor turns pink with flamingos during the wet season — a striking contrast against the green caldera walls.
Elephant
The crater's bull elephants are legendary for their size and the extraordinary span of their tusks.
Baobab
Thousand-year-old baobab trees define Tarangire's skyline, providing roost sites for vultures and shade for lions.
Gerenuk
This long-necked gazelle stands on its hind legs to browse acacia tips — a Tarangire speciality rarely seen elsewhere.
