Grant’s Gazelle at Lobo Valley

Lobo Valley, tucked into the remote northern reaches of the Serengeti National Park, offers a scenically dramatic backdrop for photographing Grant's Gazelle against a landscape of rugged granite kopjes rising from open savannah. The remoteness of this corner of the ecosystem means fewer vehicles and quieter sightings, giving photographers room to work with the light and terrain. Travellers joining the Lions of the Serengeti holiday pass through this area, with September typically the month to plan for. Keep an eye on the kopjes and open grassland, as these features shape where gazelle and other wildlife tend to gather.
