About Lobo Wildlife Lodge

Lobo Wildlife Lodge, located in the North of Serengeti National Park, the most spectacular scene of wildlife in its purest essence. Lobo Wildlife Lodge is a dream of romanticism in its remote location, strategically built into an enormous volcanic rocky outcrop.

It is the largest lodge on the migration route where its elevated position means that the migration can be viewed from the comfort of a sun lounger. You can even watch and witness the migration from the pool.

Artistically made of stone and local timber around clusters of large boulders, harmoniously merging with its surroundings, the Lodge affords from its raised location stunning views of the most amazing natural spectacle to be seen on Earth.

Lobo is ideally set on the migratory route of over one million wildebeest in their desperate struggle for survival. It is the first lodge on the way from Kenya to Tanzania, only 28 km from the Maasai Mara.

Lobo Wildlife Lodge invites you to an unforgettable safari experience from its privileged location, unrivalled by any other both for game viewing and scenery.

A waterhole below the Lodge attracts a variety of wildlife during the day and is lit each evening, revealing an interesting array of nocturnal animals, providing a close encounter with the very authentic wildlife.

All the Lodge's 75 elegant guestrooms afford superb views of this unbelievable natural phenomenon, and the sumptuous swimming pool is situated on the very edge of the rock, offering uninterrupted views of the horizon.

335km from Arusha, stretching north to Kenya where it meets the Masai Mara and bordering Lake Victoria to the west. Most of the Serengeti is vast open plains with lofty rocky outcrops or kopjes giving character to the landscape.

There is also acacia woodland and scrub, forested and well-treed rivers and the occasional swamp and small lake.

We arrived at the lodge’s main entrance road sign about 6pm, myself and two young daughters after a full day of driving, tired and hungry. The main entrance road was blocked by trees branches clearly arranged in a line across the road. No written sign to redirect traffic or explain. We drove on to see if there was another entrance, there was none. we drove back to the main entrance I got out of the car removed the branches and drove up to the lodge to find the road had been washed away a short distance from the main road and was impassable. We assumed the lodge has been shut. There were two lions meters away from when I got out of the car to remove the branches. We reversed and drove on, after 90 minutes of driving and not finding anywhere to stay we decided to drive back to Seronera Lodge which was at least a couple of hours away because the roads are terrible. On the way past Lobo Lodge I saw the lights at the lodge were on, I drove to the lobo airstrip to see if anyone was there, luckily someone was there, he told us there was a road behind the airstrip that goes to the lodge, No sign anywhere to inform clients of this. Finally we arrived at the Lodge just before 9pm tired and very hungry. The rooms floorboards creaked loudly, the bathrooms are in desperate need of repair. we were asked to pay more money for an extra room, because I had booked one room to share with my children one who is 13 another 16 years old and asked to deposit into the managers private bank account!

The property has been closed for two weeks and we were not notified until we got there in the middle of the night we need an explanation and refund. We were left in the middle of a national park stopped by rangers because its illegal to drive in the national park in the night putting us at high risk and not knowing where to go at that time of the night it took another 5 hours to get to the nearest hotel arriving at 2in the morning and having to pay a ranger for escort I will be making an official complain

This is an amazing property built in the late 60's. Very rustic and built into a rock mountain with fantastic views over the Northern Serengeti. You must appreciate rustic and that not always will you have power and hot water, it is very very remote and difficult to get to. I'm an adventurer and this was my favorite of all the places we stayed, but not for everyone. It could use some maintenance, but overall the food was great and is a one of a kind accommodation. We booked and paid for this through Expedia but had difficulty when we got to the property in that they didn't have our reservation on the books. They required us to pay at the desk in cash, and provided a receipt. We are working on our refund from Expedia for our credit card payment.
