About
Soit Le Motonyi is a high rocky escarpment in the northern Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, close to Klein's Camp. It is also known as Soit-le-Motonyi Hill or Klein's Hill. The address given is in the Mara Region, and the park lies within Tanzania's Arusha Region.
What the visit offers
The main reward here is the view. From the top of the escarpment, the land opens out in every direction, with sweeping elevated views across the Lamai Triangle and the wider Mara ecosystem. The landscape is wide and quiet, and the outlook gives a sense of how the northern plains lie together.
Visitors often find the light especially striking at sunrise and sunset, when the views are at their most dramatic. Planning a visit around either time can make the climb feel worthwhile.
Around the hill
- Its position in the northern Serengeti places it within one of Tanzania's best-known wildlife areas.
- Klein's Camp is nearby, making it a natural stop for those staying in the area.
- Because it sits on the open northern plains, it suits travellers who want broad scenery as well as time in the park.
Soit Le Motonyi suits anyone who enjoys wide landscapes and elevated viewpoints, and who would like to pause from the drive to take in the Mara ecosystem from above.
