Lions of Tanzania
Focusing on locations in Tanzania where I had an internship
Key Ecological Habitats in Africa
Africa is immensely rich in biodiversity. I had the opportunity to travel to Tanzania located in East Africa. There I spent time conducting research on large carnivore's like lions in the following national parks: Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire.
National Parks Visited in Tanzania
Tanzania has the highest population of lions than any other country in Africa. There is an estimate of 14,000-15,000 lions in Tanzania. The Serengeti is home to one of the largest lion populations in Tanzania with about 3,000 lions.
I saw the most lions in the Serengeti followed by Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire.
It is estimated that lions could go extinct by 2050.
