Vervet Monkey at Lobo Valley

Tucked into the remote northern Serengeti, Lobo Valley's rugged granite kopjes and open savannah offer a dramatic backdrop for photographing Vervet Monkeys against the wider ecosystem. Its scenic, out-of-the-way setting makes it a rewarding stop for those travelling with our Lions of the Serengeti holiday, typically visited in September. The kopjes themselves provide a striking natural stage, well worth working into wider compositions of the valley. Patience here is rewarded with images that capture both the species and the sweeping character of this corner of Tanzania.
