The Serengeti National Park has endless plains of savannah grassland. It provides a wide feeding area throughout the year for wildebeest, many antelope species, and zebra. The number of animals in this area is a great place to see predators such as cheetahs, lions, hyenas, and other wild cats.

In the Seronera Valley, you will see acacia vegetation across the valley and rocks that appear in groups (known as kopjes), which provide a vantage point for predators. It is also home to reptiles such as lizards and snakes like pythons.
