The endless variety of landscape explains the diversity of wildlife to be seen during a Serengeti Central Safari with us. Volcanic in origin, the terrain has weathered over time to form distinctive areas. The low hill ranges contain black clay pans, which support acacia trees and the giraffe that browse on them. Central grasslands teem with varied herbivores including elands, impalas, buffalos, topis, hippos, and also their predators, hyenas, lions, leopards, cheetahs and other small cats.

This park is well-known for its healthy stock of resident wildlife, particularly the “big five”, named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters: Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffaloes, and Rhinos.
