    The Ngorongoro Crater supports year-round resident wildlife. Predatory animals: Lion, Leopard and Cheetah, several cats and large packs of Hyena roam the Ngorongoro Crater, making their own kills and scavenging from others.

    Lake Manyara Serena offers breathtaking views of the Great Rift Valley . Built in the traditional African circular theme, it is free flowing and graceful. 

    Lake Manyara is warm to hot throughout the year, with temperatures rising to above 35°C/95°F during September, October and January. The rainfall is seasonal, with two dry periods and two rainy periods during the year. Short, late-afternoon or evening thunderstorms occur in November and December, as well as from March to May. The dry periods last from June to October, and January and February.

  • Central Serengeti Wildlife

    The central Serengeti is home to the beautiful Seronera River Valley.  The combination of location and resident prey attracts the largest populations of predators in Africa.

    It is this amazing abundance and diversity of easily seen large predators that attracts thousands of visitors to the Seronera River Valley each year. There is simply no better place in Africa to observe these large carnivores.  It is not unusual to see all four large predators (lion, hyena, leopard and cheetah) during the course of a day in the central Serengeti.

    A night or two at the Serengeti Serena Lodge will fit nicely into every itinerary and will appeal to those people seeking comfortable lodge-based accommodation in the action packed area of the Central Serengeti and Seronera . The Seronera River Valley in particular, with its abundance of resident animals including all the big carnivores, is a must see no matter what time of year.

  • Tanzania Royal Safari in Serengeti West Wildlife

    Although there is plenty of resident wildlife to witness all year long, Kirawira offers especially splendid game viewing from May through mid July during the northward wildebeest migration.

    During the northward migration, Kirawira boasts a front seat to the thunderous theatre that is the million-strong wildebeest migration.

    Additionally, throughout the entire dry season (May to November), the surrounding area offers great wildlife viewing for resident animals including giraffe, elephant, lion, hyena, impala, topi, crocodile, hippo and several species of primates including the beautiful black and white colobus monkey (this species is only found in the Western Serengeti).

    Kirawira can also make a great spot in November when a portion of the southward migration may pass through the area especially if the onset of the rains is delayed.

    During November, some of the migratory wildebeest and zebra accumulate in the Western Serengeti before making their final southward leap to the southern Serengeti Plains.
