We spent 3 nights in the central part of Serengeti National Park, in the Seronera area. I don't know how I'm going to fit everything into one blogpost.
It is a stunning place.
The game is so abundant.
We've never had so many predator sightings; three to four lion encounters every day plus multiple cheetah, leopard and hyena sightings.
Let's just get the only downside out upfront...lots of other vehicles!
Luckily Yuda, our guide worked us out quickly and took us to the East of Serengeti on Saturday. We drove a long way but we were literally the only vehicle out there. The kopje landscape is beautiful.
We had two good cheetah sightings.
And then we spotted a lioness with four cubs. Soon she was joined by two more lioness who called their cubs from their hiding place and seven more cubs trotted out. We followed the lionesses as they led their cubs to the kill to feed!
Later we also saw ostrich mating.

On Sunday we stayed in the Seronera area, much busier, but we followed a leopard for a kilometer or more as it appeared and reappeared along the riverbed. Lots more lion and cheetah too.
Most interesting was a baboon killing a dikdik. Baboons do occasionally hunt and the alpha male will kill to show dominance. Once he has eaten, he will allow the other big males to partake.
On Monday we explored the Moro area, also further afield and much less busy. We were the only vehicle for miles and we still saw plenty.
