Buffalos
The African Buffalo can be very aggressive, and are not frequently bothered by lions
The African or Cape Buffalo is common throughout the Tanzanian game parks. The horns of an adult male are massive and can easily kill a lion if one gets too close. Buffalos are aggressive and can move quickly. It takes several lions in a coordinated attack to defeat a buffalo.
Buffalos can be found near water, shade and grassy areas. They like to roll in the mud to cool themselves and often feed at night. In the Serengeti, they are numerous in the Lobo area. At Lake Manyara, you will see them in the open area near the lake.
Buffalo herds can graze on the thorny Acacia trees
