The elephant in this part of the Serengeti dominate the landscape. The Grumeti River, which rises only a few kilometers north of here, winds its way across the Serengeti to Lake Victoria. Its bushy and forested edges provide shelter to many species of fauna. Thus resident wildlife abound providing year-round interest. The stunning rocky outcrops, known as kopjes, are home to klispringers.
Places to stay vary from an exclusive and small lodge in a private concession, to a small and large properties. In addition a number of tour operators set up mobile camps in the area.
