Endless plains with more than a million wildebeest and zebras on the Great Migration, and one of the highest densities of lions in Africa, a UNESCO site. The herds calve in the south around February and cross the Mara River in the north from July to October.


Central Seronera has wildlife all year. Hot-air balloon safaris float over at dawn.
