Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Serengeti is home to one of the continent’s highest concentrations of large mammal species, including lions, hyenas, zebras, giraffes, and elephants. Each year, more than one million wildebeest travel in a circular migration, following seasonal rains, across the Serengeti Plains.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Savanna Biome is the largest Biome in southern Africa, occupying 46% of its area, and over one-third the area of South Africa. It is well developed over the lowveld and Kalahari region of South Africa and is also the dominant vegetation in Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe.

Detailed explanation-3: -The African savanna is vast, diverse and home to some of the most distinct biodiversity in the world. Flora and fauna, including African elephants, zebras, flamingos, termites, and diverse species of gazelles, flourish in the ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-4: -The largest populations are in Southern and Eastern African countries, including Botswana, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya, Namibia, Zambia, and South Africa. As a result of their visibility within the open areas where they live, African savanna elephants are well studied and populations are easily estimated.
