The Serengeti is thought to hold the largest lion population in Africa due in part to the abundance of prey species. More than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem.

Serengeti plains! almost treeless grassland of the south is the most emblematic scenery of the park. Kopjes are granite formations that are very common in the region, and they are great observation posts for predators including Lions, Cheetahs and Leopards. In The Southern plains lies  volcanic grasslands of which  is a edaphic plant community that grows on soils derived from volcanic ash from nearby volcanoes of Ngorongoro.

The great migration is an iconic feature of the park. It is also the world’s longest overland migration. Roughly over 1.8  million wildebeest, 800,000 Zebras migrate north from the south all the way through the park to the north . Half a million wildebeests are born from January to March (calving season), making sure the herd survives to the next year. Attacks by the largest lion population in Africa are common this time.
