Hyenas are primarily represented by the spotted hyena species, also known as Crocuta crocuta. They inhabit a wide range of habitats, including savannas, grasslands, woodlands, and even mountainous regions. These adaptable carnivores can be found in countries across sub-Saharan Africa, making them a sought-after species for photo safaris in various locations.

In terms of habitat preference, Hyenas thrive in areas with an abundance of prey, reliable water sources, and suitable den sites. They exhibit a remarkable ability to adapt to different environments, making them a successful predator across diverse landscapes. Hyenas are not limited to a specific type of habitat, allowing photographers to encounter them in a variety of stunning natural settings. From the iconic open plains of the Serengeti to the dense woodlands of Kruger National Park, photo safaris offer opportunities to capture Hyenas in their natural habitats.
