The Serengeti is home to literally millions of large herbivores, as well as the accompanying carnivores and prolific birdlife. Klein’s Camp offers excellent year-round lion, leopard and cheetah viewing, with individually recognisable leopard regularly located. Huge resident herds of buffalo and breeding herds of elephant ensure exceptional game sightings. During the Great Migration, almost two million wildebeest, zebra, eland and Thomson’s gazelle follow the annual rains through the Serengeti to the adjacent Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya in search of prime grazing.

As the dense herds of herbivores move across the plains, they are shadowed by predators and scavengers. Lion, and hyena, as well as the more elusive cheetah and leopard, mingle with the migrating masses, while vulture and jackal await their scraps. The Serengeti is famous for its large lion population and a number of prides have their territories in the Klein’s concession. It is not only scavengers and predators that accompany the migration, with up to 500 000 zebra leading the way and arriving first at the crossings. The small and compact Thomson’s gazelle bring up the rear.  

Klein’s Camp enjoys a diverse and plentiful birdlife, with several species of raptors breeding on the cliffs above the camp. Augur buzzard, tawny and Verreaux’s eagle, various types of vultures and many other species drift lazily along the rocky ridges above Klein’s. The world’s smallest bird of prey, the pygmy falcon, may also be seen, utilising the thatched nest made by the white-headed buffalo weaver to lay its eggs. Long-legged secretary birds stalk prey such as snakes and rodents in the grasslands, and their large platform nests grace the canopy of many a flat-topped tree.
