Your Journey
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Touch down in Arusha and transfer to your hotel, where you meet your guide for a safari briefing over dinner.
Depart for Tarangire, famous for its towering baobab trees and massive elephant herds. Your intimate tented camp puts you front-row for capturing incredible park imagery at dawn and dusk when the animals are most active.
The huge volcanic Ngorongoro Crater provides a striking backdrop for photographing large concentrations of animals, including the highly endangered black rhino. Spend two full days shooting on the crater floor from specially adapted photographic safari vehicles.
No photo safari to Tanzania would be complete without exploring the legendary Serengeti! From the cover of your secluded tented camp located in a prime photography hotspot, head out at sunrise and sunset to capture the dramatic interactions between predators and their prey.
After an early morning game drive, you return to Arusha where you can relive your incredible photographic memories with your guide over a slideshow presentation before departing Tanzania.
