Spanning a massive 14,750 square kilometers, Serengeti National Park is too big to explore blindly. To see the Big Five and witness the Great Wildebeest Migration, you need to know exactly where to direct your 4x4 safari driver.
Different areas of the park peak at different times of the year. Here is our official countdown of the top 10 wildlife locations inside the Serengeti map.
Located right in the heart of the Central Serengeti, Seronera is world-famous for its incredible year-round resident wildlife populations. Because water flows here constantly, leopards love hiding in the sausage trees along the Seronera River, while large prides of lions claim the rocky outcroppings.
If you visit between July and October, the extreme Northern frontier near Kogatende is the place to be. Here, millions of wildebeests gather to make perilous, high-stakes crossings across the crocodile-infested Mara River into Kenya.
These massive, smooth granite rock formations rise right out of the flat savanna grass plains. Moru is the best spot to view predators looking for shade, and it serves as the final sanctuary for the park's remaining resident Black Rhinos, heavily protected by local rangers.
Located where the Seronera and Orangi rivers meet, this natural pool hosts over 200 noisy hippos wallowing together. It is an amazing spot to stretch your legs safely and take incredible wide-angle photos of massive crocodile and hippo interactions.
