African Elephant at Lobo Valley

Tucked into the remote northern reaches of the Serengeti, Lobo Valley offers a dramatic backdrop for photographing African Elephants, with rugged granite kopjes rising from the open savannah to frame every composition. This remoteness makes the valley a rewarding stop for those travelling with the Lions of the Serengeti holiday, where the landscape itself becomes as much a part of the image as the elephants moving through it. September is the typical month to visit, offering photographers the chance to work with this striking granite-&-grassland scenery. Patience & a wide-angle lens are well suited to capturing the scale of both the elephants & the kopjes that define this corner of the ecosystem.
