Central Serengeti to Karatu
Early game drive in central Serengeti contains black clay pans, which support acacia trees and the giraffe that browse on them. Thick woodland is home to several varieties of primates from vervet monkeys, olive baboons to bushbabies. Central grasslands teem with varied herbivores including elands, impalas, buffalos, topis, hippos, and also their predators, hyenas, lions, leopards, cheetahs and other small cats. On the plains, elephants are plentiful where matriarch herds are increasing in certain areas. Moru Kopjes loom from the sweeping savannah like ships on a golden-green sea. In addition to their matchless flora, weird candelabra trees and dazzling ephemeral flowers, the fauna include rare black rhino. The central area is such large that wildlife climb and play the gong rock, and to admire Maasai cave paintings of elephants, shields and abstract patterns. The kopjes also provide a superlative vantage point for predator to spot prey.
