Nyabogati Serengeti Camp to discover Serengeti National Park

Nyabogati Serengeti Camp is situated in the heart of Serengeti Park. From the location, you can easily reach places of visit, and all the areas with the highest animal population in Serengeti and the passage of the great migration, which occurs twice a year.

How ever you decide to see and travel through this wonderful part of Tanzania, here are some recommended places to visit.

The Lamai Triangle is a small paradise with minimal visits, it is located beyond the Mara River which offers unforgettable safaris and where there is a possibility of coming across elephants.

The vegetation and animals present are very similar to those of the Masai Mara National Reserve, but, unlike the Kenyan part, it receives far fewer visitors due to a lack of facilities.

The Lobo area is one of the most scenic in the park, a refuge for animals during the dry season as they find perennial sources of water. The land is undulating, full of hills and kopjes.

Gol Kopjes is among the most splendid places in the Serengeti park, ideal for a photographic safari in Africa.

It is home to the highest concentration of cheetahs and is also home to lions, hyenas, Grant’s gazelles, Thomson’s gazelles, honey badgers, eland, and agame reptiles.

Lions and cheetahs reside here. The Sametu marsh, which extends from the foot of the kopjes, is the only source of water in the area, and many animals such as honey badgers, hartebeests, Grant’s gazelles, Thomson’s gazelles, warthogs and jackals can be seen here.

The Simba Kopjes is the place that inspired Pride Rock in the Disney movie “The Lion King” and has the tallest rocks in Serengeti.

As the name in Kiswahili also says, they are an excellent location for spotting lions; “Simba” actually means “Lion”.

You can come across giraffes, baboons and many species of birds.

There are areas inhabited by hippos and pink flamingos as well.

In Moru Kopjes, on the south of the Seronera River, you can look for some of the last remaining black rhinos in the entire reserve and see some ancient rock paintings.

Here you find the Serengeti Rhino Project, where you can learn about the work being done to protect this endangered species. Moru Kopjes is also one of the very few areas in the park where you can go on a multi-day walking safari.

The Masai Kopjes form the natural eastern border of the wonderful Seronera Valley.

They are an enormous mass of large rounded stones piled up on top of each other, while the vegetation-rich plains stretches out placidly around them.
Here, you find the herd of BMasai, the most famous and numerous lions of the Serengeti, together with the herd of Sameti.

In addition to the lions, it is possible to observe the red headed antilope, which cannot be spotted elsewhere.

There are also ostriches, leopards, waterbucks, Thomson’s gazelles, Grant’s gazelles, spotted hyenas, and jackals.

On the road that leads to Turner’s Spring and Nyabogati, in the acacia woods, herds of giraffes walk slowly, while buffaloes and leopards lie down dozing on branches.

Big cats are regularly encountered on game drives in this area.
The springs found in this area are named after Myles Turner, a game warden between 1956 and 1972.

Thanks to his anti-poaching efforts, we can now admire this magnificent place.

This is the transition zone between the grasslands and rocks of the southern part and the shrubby and woody savannah of the northern part of the park.

The large plains gradually give way to rolling hills and a wooded area.
Here, the hippos live in the river and the surrounding pools.

The Seronera Valley is the habitat of choice to both the animals in the savannah and those in the rocky areas.

Hippopotamuses, crocodiles, elephants, buffaloes, wildebeests, zebras, giraffes, impalas, waterbucks, ratbucks, black deer, warthogs, baboons, lions, cheetahs,  leopards, hyenas, mongooses, jackals, ocelots, bat-eared bats, marabou, various species of vultures, the howler eagle, and of course, our beloved big cats.

The southern part of Seronera is made up of the most typical savannah, with large grasslands, acacia scrub, wooded areas, and lush trees along the river banks.

The long grass plains are plains characterized by tall grass, much of which is loved by zebras.

Whole groups stop in this area for the duration of the green season to graze.
Here live cheetahs, hyenas, hartebeests, aardvarks, genets, hares, mongooses, pangolins, porcupines, monitor lizards, and various species of birds.
