Central Serengeti Sametu

Karibu Central Serengeti

Central Serengeti, often referred to as Seronera, stands as the vibrant heart of the famed Serengeti National Park. Characterized by vast stretches of savannah interspersed with acacia trees, its landscape epitomizes the classic African safari setting. This region boasts an incredibly high concentration of wildlife year-round, thanks to the permanent Seronera River which ensures a constant water supply. As a result, big cat sightings, particularly lions, leopards, and cheetahs, are frequent and often spectacular here.

For avid bird-watchers, the Central Serengeti is a paradise, home to over 500 species of birds. Visitors will also appreciate the network of well-maintained roads, making game drives relatively seamless. The vastness of the plains ensures you’ll always find a peaceful spot to soak in nature’s wonders. Interestingly, the area is dotted with ‘kopjes’—ancient granite rock formations that offer panoramic views and often serve as lounging spots for lions. The Central Serengeti is also a gateway to other parts of the park, making it a strategic base for extended exploration. No visit to Tanzania is complete without experiencing the wild allure and breathtaking beauty of this iconic region.
