Blue Wildebeest at Lobo Valley

Lobo Valley, tucked into the remote northern reaches of the Serengeti, offers a genuinely dramatic backdrop for photographing Blue Wildebeest, with rugged granite kopjes rising abruptly from the open savannah. This wild, less-trafficked corner of the ecosystem rewards photographers willing to venture further north, framing wildebeest against a landscape as striking as the animals themselves. Those joining the Lions of the Serengeti holiday can expect to encounter this scenery in September, when the valley's terrain & light combine to create compelling compositions. It's a fine opportunity to capture Blue Wildebeest within a setting that feels distinctly untamed.
