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.
