Charlie, Southwest Serengeti, Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

In the southwest edge of the Serengeti National Park, Charlie slips into a landscape of big open plains, acacia woodland and iconic granite kopjes that rise like islands from the grass. It’s a place of Rift Valley views, quiet corners and wide horizons, where you can walk in almost any direction and the terrain shifts around you — ground, vegetation, light, all changing with each step. This isn’t a migration‑led safari; the joy here lies in exploring spectacular scenery on foot, sharing space with resident wildlife and Maasai communities who move through these lived‑in edges of the ecosystem. It’s rugged, raw and wonderfully off the usual path.

Charlie arrives in southwest Serengeti from the beginning of November and stays on location through to May.
