pound the open plains, as more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson's gazelle join the wildebeest’s
trek for fresh grazing. The spectacle of predator versus prey dominates Tanzania’s greatest park. Goldenmaned lion prides feast on the abundance of plain grazers. Solitary leopards haunt the acacia trees lining
the Seronera River, while a high density of cheetahs prowls the south eastern plains. Almost uniquely, all
three African jackal species occur here, alongside the spotted hyena and a host of more elusive small
