Thomson’s Gazelle at Lobo Valley

Tucked into the northern reaches of Serengeti National Park, Lobo Valley is one of the ecosystem's most remote & dramatic corners, its rugged granite kopjes rising abruptly from open savannah to create a striking backdrop for Thomson's Gazelle. Travellers joining the Lions of the Serengeti holiday in September will find this landscape well worth the extra distance, with the interplay of rock & grassland offering plenty of scope for considered compositions. Working with a longer lens against the kopjes can help isolate individual gazelles from the wider plain, making the most of the valley's distinctive terrain. It's a location that rewards patience, given how much of its appeal lies in the setting itself as much as the subject.
