Lions are the undisputed kings of the African wilderness, and witnessing them in their natural habitat is one of the most thrilling experiences on a safari. At I Artist Adventure, we specialize in crafting unforgettable safari journeys across Tanzania, bringing you up close to these majestic predators in some of Africa’s most iconic landscapes. Whether you dream of seeing a lioness on the hunt or hearing the deep, reverberating roar of a male lion at dusk, Tanzania is one of the best places in the world to experience these magnificent creatures.

Best Places to See Lions in Tanzania

Serengeti National Park

From a lion’s perspective, nothing beats an endless supply of prey. That’s precisely what the Serengeti offers, as it plays host to the Great Migration—one of the most awe-inspiring wildlife spectacles on Earth. Over a million wildebeest, along with thousands of zebras and gazelles, traverse the vast plains of the Serengeti each year, making it a lion’s paradise. The central Seronera Valley is a lion hotspot, where you’ll find large prides ruling the golden savannah. The western Grumeti Game Reserve, known for its dramatic river crossings, offers a unique chance to see lions strategizing their hunts along the banks of the Grumeti River. With I Artist Adventure, we take you to prime locations at the perfect time for breathtaking encounters with the Serengeti’s legendary lions.

Ngorongoro Crater

Nowhere in Africa provides a more concentrated wildlife experience than the Ngorongoro Crater. This massive volcanic caldera is home to around 30,000 animals, including a high density of lions. With its lush grasslands and plentiful prey, the crater’s ecosystem supports some of Tanzania’s most powerful and resilient lion prides. The unique setting, encircled by towering crater walls, creates an unparalleled safari experience where you can see these apex predators up close. On a safari with I Artist Adventure, you’ll descend into the crater at sunrise, maximizing your chances of seeing lions in action—whether lounging in the morning sun or stalking their next meal.

Ruaha National Park

For those seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure, Ruaha National Park is an unspoiled gem. Hosting about 10% of the world’s remaining lion population, Ruaha is Tanzania’s best-kept secret when it comes to lion sightings. Unlike the Serengeti or Ngorongoro, where lions are often found in large prides, Ruaha’s lions have adapted to a more solitary or small-group lifestyle due to the park’s rugged, arid terrain. With I Artist Adventure, you’ll explore this vast, untamed wilderness with expert guides who know exactly where to find Ruaha’s elusive lions. The best part? With fewer than 6,000 visitors a year, you’ll likely have your lion sightings all to yourself.
