The park is well known for its healthy stock of other resident wildlife, particularly the "big five", named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters: Lion: 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.

African Leopard: these reclusive predators are commonly seen in the Seronera region but are present throughout the national park with the population at around 1,000. African Elephant.

Serengeti national Park -- Resident wildlife numbers are exceptionally high in the Wagakuria area, with prides of lion up to 30 strong, however from August to October the area turns into a wildlife paradise. The key feature is the Mara River and it is not uncommon to see the herds cross the Mara River north on one day and then back south a few days later.

Please take note - to actually find a crossing is very difficult and is sometimes a matter of luck.

River crossings at Kogatende start to occur every day in August as the mega herd settles into the area. 

From August to October, game viewing up here is superb with river crossings pretty much guaranteed every day. 

There is no distinct movement as the herds tend to cross back and forth over the river, following the rains and subsequent fresh grasses. 

It is not uncommon to see different herds crossing in different directions on the same day.
