Tanzania is an East African country known for its vast wilderness areas. They include the plains of Serengeti National Park, a safari mecca populated by the “big five” game (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino), and Kilimanjaro National Park, home to Africa’s highest mountain. From the epic expanse of the Serengeti to the self-contained basin of the Ngorongoro Crater, our Tanzania Wildlife Photo Tour delivers some of the planet’s most impressive natural spectacles. Prepare for truly breathtaking wildlife photography opportunities and experience which will leave you with memories that will last a lifetime! From magnificent forests through the Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater to the endless planes of the famous Serengeti, you will explore some of the most diverse scenery and wildlife on the planet. With the best local safari guides we will be always in the right time at the right place so that we don’t miss any chance and can focus only on capturing the amazing wilderness around us.

Who can join this photography tour?

Like all our photography tours and expeditions, this exclusively guided tour is meant for those who would prefer making images rather than taking images. If you understand and respect the concept of making images rather than taking random shots, if you would like to pay attention to composition, frames, moods and story telling when it comes to wildlife photography, if you have the patience to wait to make that one image which would tell a thousand stories, if you understand and respect the difference between wildlife safari and wildlife photography safari then this tour is exactly what you are looking for.

In addition to more than 35 species of plains animals, there are some 3,000 lions and great numbers of spotted hyenas, leopards, rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, giraffes, cheetahs, and baboons in Serengeti National Park. Crocodiles also inhabit the marshes near the Mara River. This eco-system is the oldest on the planet. It boasts a diversity of flora and fauna that is unavailable anywhere else on the globe. Lake Manyara is where you can expect to see countless wildebeests, colonies of baboons, hippos, and the infamous tree climbing lions! It is also a great spot for flamingos, herons, and pelicans along the lakeshore. The Ngorongoro conservation area is home for almost 30,000 animals ranging from leopard, cheetah, elephant, and hyena to warthog, buffalo, and impala. It’s also one of the best places to see the endangered black rhino.

Day 1 : Arrive in the evening, we will pick you from Kilimanjaro Airport and transfer to your hotel at Arusha. We’ll introduce you to your guide, give you a taste of what lies ahead. Night at Karibu Heritage House. (Dinner)

Day 2: In the morning after breakfast, you’ll get in a 4×4 Land Cruiser safari vehicle ready for a drive and safari at Tarangire National Park. Tarangire National Park has the highest population density of elephants in Tanzania. There are also the migratory wildebeests, zebras, buffalos, impalas, gazelles, hartebeests and elands. It’s the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem. After a whole day game drive, you will be transferred to your booked lodge in the evening for dinner, warm shower and overnight stay. Night at Marera Valley Lodge. (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)

Day 3 : Early morning after breakfast we will checkout and head towards Central Serengeti National Park via Ngorongoro Highlands. In the afternoon we will go for a guided game drive through Central Serengeti National Park. It’s here in the heart of the park that you find the densest concentrations of wildlife. Big cats and elephants are frequently seen in this area, and this section of the park is rich in acacia trees and big Serengeti horizons. Night at Shuhudia Adventure Camp. (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)

Day 4 : Today after breakfast we will drive from Central to Northern Serengeti National Park. Since you will already be inside the park we will get to have a guided transfer game drive. We will explore on our way as we drive you around to look for animals. In the afternoon we will explore the northern Serengeti and get to know one of the park’s most beautiful corners. This is also the area of the park that sees the fewest visitors, which means you can enjoy the river, grasslands, rocky scenery and the animals without interruption. Night at Pamoja Migration Camp. (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)

Day 5 & 6: The next two days we will spend exploring Northern Serengeti. After an early breakfast we will go for a full-day guided game drive for a fantastic opportunity to see some of the animals you came this far to see. Northern Serengeti being close to the Tanzania-Kenya border, the Mara River in this region offers the most dramatic river crossing of the great migration. Fierce, deep and heavily rain fed the river takes an enormous toll on the migrating wildebeest. Watching the wildebeest surging through the torrential flow, some drowning and a few falling prey to lurking crocodiles is an unforgettable sight. If it’s your lucky day you will be able to witness this natural wonder and watch nature take its course. Night at Pamoja Migration Camp. (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)

Day 7: After an early breakfast we will go for a transfer game drive from Northern Serengeti to Central Serengeti National Park. You’ll get to know the Serengeti and its colorful cast of characters even better with another day immersed in its wild beauty. Rest of the day you will be heading down more safari trails in search of animals in Central Serengeti National Park. Experience classic safari scenery with acacia trees and savannah grasslands, as well as plenty of wildlife. Night at Shuhudia Adventure Camp. (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)

Day 8: After an early morning breakfast we will go for our last game drive in Central Serengeti. Witness the beautiful sunrise and make some beautiful captures during the golden hours. It is one of the most beautiful natural sights in Africa. In the afternoon we drive back to Arusha. Night at Karibu Heritage House. (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)

Day 9: As your safari comes to an end, we look back on our time together and the wonderful safari memories that we’ve shared. After breakfast we will transfer you to the Kilimanjaro Airport. (Breakfast)
