Moru Kopjes
Granite kopjes about 30 km southwest of Seronera, with Maasai rock art and a ‘gong rock’, a black rhino sanctuary, and believed to be one of the models for Pride Rock in The Lion King.
Moru Kopjes lies about 30 km southwest of Seronera, a cluster of huge granite outcrops scattered across the grassland. Here you will find red-and-white rock paintings left by the Maasai, and a ‘gong rock’ that rings when struck, said to have been used by the Maasai to send signals. Lions often sun themselves on the outcrops. The Great Migration usually passes through here heading west in May–June. The Moru area has a black rhino sanctuary, where you may be lucky enough to see one at a distance. There are fewer camps nearby than in Seronera, so it is quieter, and some camps offer walking safaris guided by armed rangers.
