Ruaha-Rungwa Landscape — 10% of the world's lions in a single ecosystem
The Ruaha-Rungwa landscape — encompassing Ruaha National Park and the surrounding Rungwa-Kizigo-Muhesi game reserves — is the single most important lion habitat on earth by concentration. A peer-reviewed population study (Open Journal of Ecology, 2022) confirmed this landscape holds more than 10% of the global lion population. Ruaha itself, at 20,226km², is Tanzania's largest national park and one of Africa's most remote and least-visited safari destinations — making lion encounters here genuinely wild and unhurried. The Ruaha Carnivore Project has monitored predators here since 2009.
Serengeti National Park — Tanzania's lion stronghold
The Serengeti holds approximately 3,000 lions — one of the highest concentrations in Africa, sustained year-round by the wildebeest migration and the resident prey base. Tanzania as a whole holds approximately 40% of Africa's wild lions. The Serengeti's lion population is closely monitored by the Serengeti Lion Project, which has tracked prides continuously since 1966 — the longest-running predator study on earth.
