Ruwana Plains

The Ruwana Plains offer the best predator viewing in the West Serengeti. There are two resident lion prides that inhabit the Ruwana Plains, and cheetahs can be seen here as well. However, the dominant predator found here is the spotted hyena. Several large clans of hyena maintain territories within Ruwana and can frequently be seen hunting or battling with neighboring clans. The Ruwana waterhole is a unique spot to witness both lion and hyenas hunting especially in the dry season.
