Scattered across the expansive Serengeti savannah are granite outcrops known as kopjes, resembling rocky islands amid a sea of grass. They are called ‘kopjes’, and were formed when the soft volcanic rock and ash that covers Serengeti were eroded to expose the extremely old metamorphic rock below. Not only serving as vital habitats for Serengeti's wildlife, these kopjes provide a scenic contrast to the surrounding plains but also a fabulous vantage point for Serengeti’s many predators.
