Lions thrive in Tanzania (Serengeti, tarangire, selous etc)
"For modern times"
It by far holds the largest number of remaining lions and it's one of the few remaining strongholds for them.
But they go above and beyond to protect them, the parks are cut off to the public other than safari goers and only the Masai can enter a few places, they are regularly monitored and tourism is high which allows many more eyes than normal.
Outside the protected parks is a different story, hunting grounds are all around but the lion density is strong with in the parks so obviously the protected areas are doing their job. I think the terrain of the park also plays a huge role, Selous apparently is more wooded and tougher viewing than the Serengeti and poachers can probably conceal their tracks better compared to a busier park but all and all, I think they are doing a good job of trying to curtail the poaching, not much they can do about the human encroachment outside the park, but that is pretty much the same story anywhere.
