If lucky, you may witness this unforgettable spectacle. Game drives may extend to the Lobo Valley, known for its diverse landscape of woodlands, plains, hills, and granite kopjes. This area offers rich sightings of lions, leopards, and cheetahs, especially in the dry season when permanent water sources attract many animals.

North Serengeti to Central Serengeti
The four-hour drive to the centre will offer mild en route game. The drive south from the Mara River Valley takes you through hill country, the Lobo area, woodlands, and then back into Seronera terrain. The central portion of the Serengeti, known as the Seronera area, is one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area, and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti's species.
As you make your way into the Seronera region, you will begin to notice the hilly and broken terrain altering into plain grasslands. In Seronera, one must really look out for the many lion prides that thrive in this region. The interactions and survival of these lion prides provide an excellent game viewing experience all year round.
A picnic lunch will be done during the day-long drive itself. The eventful day comes to an end with a heavy dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodation.
