Swaga Swaga Game Reserve is a Tanzanian game reserve that gives refuge to elephants and other vulnerable animals. It is located 50.6 miles from the city of Babati. The reserve is part of a governmental organization, Southern Tanzania Elephant Program,[1] which is an organization putting a stop to poaching.[2][3][4]

Swaga Swaga also contains 102 lions, and since Tanzania has the most lions in Africa,[5] Swaga Swaga has almost 0.6% of Tanzania's sighted lions.
