About
Lobo Valley lies in the northern sector of Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. It is a remote part of the park, and the landscape here feels quite different from the open plains further south. Rocky terrain rises across the area, and the views give a sense of the park's scale and variety.
What the visit offers
- Dramatic scenery: The rocky ground and open country make this a striking place for a viewpoint.
- River crossings: During the Great Migration, the rivers of the north become a focus, as herds move through the area.
- Wildlife: Elephants and buffalo are abundant here, so game viewing is a central reason to come.
Planning the trip
Lobo is far from the main entry points, so it suits visitors who are happy with a longer journey into the park. Because the northern sector is remote, it is worth arranging transport and accommodation in advance and checking the seasonal timing of the migration before you set out. Visitors may also know the area as the Northern Serengeti Lobo Area.
For many travellers, Lobo is best combined with other parts of the Serengeti, so that the open plains, the rivers and the rocky north can all be seen on the same trip.
