6 Days Wildlife, Photography & Rhino Conservation Safari - Central Serengeti

Safari Overview

Location & Landscape

Central Serengeti, anchored around the Seronera River, is the wildlife heart of Serengeti National Park. Its golden plains, scattered kopjes, and riverine forests create the ultimate setting for wildlife photography. The Moru Kopjes, rising dramatically above the plains, provide elevated vantage points for predators, herds, and landscapes.

Moru Kopjes is also a key black rhino conservation area, with guided visits to monitored rhino zones. Photographers can safely observe these critically endangered species while documenting anti-poaching efforts and conservation initiatives, adding a unique storytelling layer to their safari.

Wildlife & Photography Experience

Predator Hotspot
Lions, leopards, and cheetahs are abundant in Central Serengeti. The open plains and kopjes allow unobstructed action photography, capturing hunting sequences, cub behavior, and territorial displays.

Black Rhino Conservation at Moru
Moru hosts carefully monitored black rhino populations. Guided visits provide photographers the opportunity to document these rare animals and learn about habitat protection, rhino tracking, and anti-poaching operations.

Predator-Prey Dynamics
Plains are teeming with wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and buffalo. Dust clouds from hunting or fleeing herds add cinematic drama for wildlife photography.

Birdlife & Smaller Fauna
Kopjes and riverine areas are rich with raptors, secretary birds, and kori bustards. The Seronera River attracts waterbirds, hippos, and crocodiles, adding variety to photographic subjects.

Moru Kopjes Advantage
Granite outcrops serve as elevated photography platforms, perfect for sunrise, sunset, and wide-angle landscape compositions, including dramatic silhouettes of predators and rhinos.
