About
Naabi Hill is a prominent granite kopje, a rocky outcrop rising from the plains near the southern entrance of Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. It is also known as the Naabi Hill Gate Viewpoint, and its position makes it a natural first stop for many visitors entering the park.
What the visit offers
The hill gives panoramic views across the wide grasslands of the Serengeti. From its slopes the open plains stretch out in every direction, and the scale of the landscape is easy to take in. For anyone whose trip is built around wildlife, the viewpoint is also known for good opportunities to spot cheetahs and lions, which often make use of the open ground and the rocks around the kopje.
Practical notes
- Location: Serengeti National Park, near the southern gate, in the Mara Region of Tanzania.
- Type of visit: A short stop with wide views, well suited to a first look at the park or a break on a longer drive.
- Best for: Travellers interested in big-cat sightings and open-plains scenery.
Around the hill
Naabi Hill sits at the edge of one of Africa's best-known wildlife areas, so it works well as part of a wider safari. Visitors planning a longer stay can use it as a starting point for exploring the plains further into the park. Check current access and entry arrangements before you travel, as these are set by the park authorities.
