The landscape is similar to the plains of southern Serengeti though the presence of Lake Ndutu and adjacent woodland provides a unique habitat.
This means there is also an increase of predators and carnage and as the area is famous for, an extremely dense population of wildlife.
At this time of year, zebras and other ungulates have made their way down to the grassy areas and seem to be giving birth in February.
We followed a family of lions from the woodland to the shores of the lake, watching them jump over small pools and young cubs playing with each other
It was like the scene from the hit film Madagascar when hungry Alex the lion sees his friend Marty the zebra as his next meal.
Take that! The hind legs of the zebra slam into the lion’s face and jaw, leaving him dazed but he is soon after the animal again
But the crown jewel of the safari was watching a solitary male lion take down zebra.
The end? The lion easily catches the spooked zebra and grabs onto the back of the desperate animal before sinking his teeth into its flesh
Ducking, diving and weaving: The zebra uses all its strength to fight off the lion before delivering the almighty blow with its legs
Not this time: The lion, with his jaws wide open and ready, makes a leap at the zebra’s leg but he managed to escape its grasp
We saw the lion eye the zebra and crouch in the familiar feline hunting position. The minutes passed and everyone was on the edge of their seat when suddenly he charged and took down the zebra, clasping his jaws around the neck of the zebra.
You could hear bones crunching, zebra gasps, and low grunts of the lion. Unbelievable!!!
