SERENGETI CONSERVATION SAFARI
THE GREAT MIGRATION MEETS CONSERVATION
Explore the wildlife rich plains of Ndutu, witness the Great Migration in the Northern Serengeti and spend a day with KopeLion learning how communities and conservationists are working together to protect lions.
Join Bobby-Jo Safaris as we explore two of Tanzania’s most rewarding wildlife regions. Spend time in the Southern Serengeti around Ndutu, witness the drama of the Mara River crossings in the Northern Serengeti and enjoy a day alongside the KopeLion team, learning firsthand how communities and conservationists are working together to protect lions and promote coexistence.
This safari is designed for travellers who would like to combine exceptional wildlife viewing and photography with a meaningful conservation experience, gaining a deeper understanding of the challenges and successes of lion conservation in the Ngorongoro landscape.
The Mara River is one of the most dynamic ecosystems in East Africa. During the migration season, thousands of wildebeest and zebras gather along its banks, waiting for the right moment to cross into Kenya while crocodiles and other predators remain close by.
Every day on safari brings something different, from dramatic crossings to quieter moments spent observing wildlife behaving naturally in its environment.
To complement our time in the Northern Serengeti, we’ll also explore the Ndutu region of the Southern Serengeti. This wildlife rich area offers a very different experience, with fewer vehicles, beautiful landscapes and excellent opportunities to observe lions, cheetahs, leopards and other predators in a more relaxed setting.
A highlight of the safari is our full conservation day with KopeLion. Guests will spend time with the dedicated team, track lions alongside field monitors and Ilchokuti (Lion Guardians), and learn how communities and conservationists are working together to reduce human wildlife conflict.
A portion of every booking directly supports KopeLion’s ongoing work, helping to safeguard Tanzania’s lions and support coexistence between people and wildlife.

- After waiting for 24 hours over three full days in the Northern Serengeti, my guests and I were starting to lose hope. Then, on our very last day, we took a chance, drove 45 minutes to a remote crossing point, and were met with the most incredible sight I have ever seen. It was so[...]
- What does it really take to witness the great wildebeest crossing? It's not just about luck (though you do need a lot of that). It’s about patience, ethics, and managing high-stakes pressure.This episode, I'm taking you right into the safari vehicle with me and my incredible guide, Firoz, as we drive to the Northern Serengeti.[...]
- This is it. This is the moment we waited over 20 hours for. My heart was pounding, my guests had tears in their eyes, and I was just trying to take it all in.After days of waiting by the river in the Northern Serengeti, we were rewarded with the biggest, most chaotic, and most emotional[...]

“If you have ever been thinking of doing a photo safari, do it with Bobby-Jo!“
“Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced professional, you will get a lot out of a photo safari with Bobby-Jo. Her itineraries are meticulously planned but also very flexible to your needs and wants. Her focus throughout the safari is that you have the most amazing experience. When you meet Bobby-Jo for the first time, you will feel like you’ve known her for years. And she’s funny as he** (and she does swear sometimes when she gets excited, lol). Bobby-Jo is an incredibly talented photographer and a wonderful host. Her enthusiasm, passion and caring for wild animals is contagious. I cannot say enough about how great her safaris are and how wonderful she is as a human being!”
