Wildlife guide
Know the animals. Find the wild.
Pick an animal to see where in Kenya and Tanzania you can meet it — and the season that gives you the best chance.
Lion
The king of the plains. Our prides are relaxed around vehicles, so you watch full-family life — hunts, cub play, and the great yawns — from meters away.
Where to see it
- Serengeti
- Maasai Mara
- Amboseli
- Ngorongoro
- Tarangire
Best time
Year-round; dry season (Jun–Oct) makes prides easiest to find.
