The beauty of the savannah begins with its most famous inhabitants – the Big Five: lions, leopards, rhinoceroses, elephants and buffalo. These animals play a key role in the ecosystem and are a prime target for tourists and photographers from all over the world. Lions, often called the “kings of the savannah”, live in prides and are one of the few social cats. Their hunting strategies and hierarchy within the pride are the subject of much research.
