Rumbe Hills

These long grasslands are where thousands of wildebeest, zebra and buffalo roam. With so many prey animals available, several species of carnivores are also abundant in these hills and this is a particularly good area to witness lions hunting buffalo. Since the animals here are well habituated to cars, the Crater has been home to some significant field studies over the years. There are usually up to 100 lions and 400 or more spotted hyenas on the Crater floor, the densest population of large predators in the world.
