Serengeti National Park
|

The Seronera Valley provides for some of the best game
viewing. Jutting kopjes provide a vantage point for
lion to sit a gaze on the herds and plan the next
meal. June and July sees the animals moving off to the
Togoro Plain on the border of the Grumeti River. This
presents an obstacle for the vast herd, as they have
to cross the queues of the eagerly awaiting crocs.
August to September sees the animals moving off to the
Lobo area and into the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, in neighboring
Kenya.

We have been up to the Serengeti on numerous
occasions, and we have never been disappointed. Two
experiences spring to mind immediately. Whilst on a
game drive in the Lobo area, we spotted a lioness in
the distance sitting in the grass. Upon closer
inspection, "she" turned out to be a pride
of 17 lion frolicking with cubs around a large kopje.
That particular day we saw 49 lion.

The other instance was our first game drive near the
Naabi gate. Upon departing from the gate, we went
straight for the nearest plain. As we came over the
hill, the view is indescribable. In front of us were
approximately 100,000 wildebeest and zebra grazing in
an area of about 4 sq. kilometers. We stopped the car
and sat amongst these animals, listening to the grunts
and snorts. The animals were so close you could almost
touch them.
The Serengeti provides for an ultimate animal
experience and unforgettable memories to tell your
friends and family about
