Serengeti National Park in Central Seronera is well known for its healthy stock of resident wildlife, particularly the “Big Five”, named for the 5 most prized trophies taken by hunters. The Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa due in part to the abundance of prey species. More than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem. The reclusive leopards are commonly seen in the Seronera area.
