Serengeti National Park’s big cats experience is fulfilling. The park’s major big cats include lions, leopards and cheetahs. They are savanna’s most sought-after safari animals and Serengeti has the highest concentration of these. Serengeti’s big cats thrive on the abundance of prey that includes several antelope species and zebras. This is boosted by the wildebeest calving period where over 7000 calves are born daily between November and February.
All the big cats in Serengeti can easily be spotted on game drives in any of the regions in Serengeti. It is recommended to start these game drives as early as 5:00 am. This enables you to catch up with the cats as they start their hunting quests before the sun fully rises. Evening game drives are also ideal and rewarding with big cats and many other wildlife species.
Tanzania outdoor tour adventures featuring the big cats in Serengeti can be done any time of the year. The rainy season months of April, May, and November enable the growth of lush vegetation that is used as hiding places for the cats as they stealthily follow their prey. For the best experiences we recommend a visit during the dry season. Game drive trails are dry and there are minimal rainfall disturbances.

Balloon tours are the only way you explore these with a panoramic view. They are more fun in Serengeti National Park following the great wildebeest migration.
