Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Ghasimi - The lion is undoubtedly the most famous of the large predators. It is called the king of the savannah, the king of beasts, and most importantly the title of the king of the jungle, although it does not actually live in the forest.

Unlike all kinds of large and small cats, the lion is the only species that lives in groups consisting of 15 to 40 members, mainly related to females and their young, in addition to the only dominant male, who wins his position through fierce battles with competing males.

You can observe all these things directly through safari trips in the African wilderness, so if you want a safari trip to Africa, which destinations are the best for discovering the lion in the wild?

Kruger National Park (South Africa)

It is the largest and most important national park in South Africa, and without a doubt you will find most of the interesting animals during safari trips, among them the lions, which are estimated to be about 1,600 lions in the park, and the best place to watch them is around Camp Satara in the eastern part of the park.

Serengeti National Park (Tanzania)

It is also home to many important animals in the wild, in its endless plains, and the Serengeti Park is a great place to watch lions, as it is estimated that there are about 3 thousand lions in it, and the best thing about the Serengeti is that it is one of the only places in Africa that does not retreat It has black growth.

Masai Mara (Kenya)

One of Africa's most famous national reserves, it has been the scene of the BBC's famous "Big Cat Diaries" documentaries which documented the lives of many big cats, especially lions.

Lake Manyara National Park (Tanzania)

It is one of the few places in Africa that is home to tree-climbing lions, and although no one knows exactly why the lions do this, the big cats residing here always like to spend their days relaxing on the acacia trees and getting ready to pounce on their prey in the blink of an eye.
