Lobo.

What to do in Lobo Mara Tanzania

Lobo centers on a cluster of massive granite outcrops in northern Serengeti. Days follow the rhythm of wildlife: dawn departures into the bush, a long shaded rest during the midday heat, and late afternoon loops around Bologonja springs. It suits patient travellers and wildlife photographers who value solitude and raw bushcraft over resort comforts.
