The Serengeti is a world-renowned destination for wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, and conservationists alike, attracting millions of visitors each year. It is undoubtedly one of the most captivating and majestic places on Earth, with its vast expanses of grasslands, towering acacia trees, and roaming herds of wild animals.
The park featured in the royal tour documentary starring the president of The United Republic of Tanzania, H.E Samia Suluhu Hassan is located in Northern Tanzania and is home to about 3,000 lions, making it one of the most significant lion populations in the world.
These majestic predators sit at the top of the food chain and they are the only cats to live in family groups called pride which consist of a dominant male lion, several females, and their offspring.
Recently, the famous Bob Junior, king of the Serengeti, was killed by younger rivals. A Serengeti conservation official told the BBC that these incidents happen when the head of the pride becomes old or when other male lions are not happy with his control.
The renowned lion, known for his striking appearance, reigned over the Serengeti for 7 years and was believed to have been 10 years old at the time of his passing.
