About This Experience
The Serengeti’s scattered granite kopjes are more than scenery โ they’re prime real estate for lion prides and denning leopards, offering shade, vantage, and denning sites in an otherwise open landscape. We route this itinerary around known kopje territories with guides who track pride movements closely.
