SAFARI OVERVIEW
By far the best Tanzania Photographic Safari for a true nature and wildlife professional photographer. Best Wildlife Photo
Collection Trip to Tanzania, home to the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater and Mount Kilimanjaro. This
Africa photo safari itinerary comes with an exciting photography workshop in one of world’s most outstanding wildlife,
landscape and cultural locations together with a luxury vacation.
Tanzania offers one of the best environments in the world for an enriching wildlife experience. The country’s game
viewing opportunities are considered by many to be the best in Africa. Its game parks are populated with many of the
world’s most exotic creatures, including all of the “Big Five.” Its lakes are huge and bountiful with fish. Its cities are
relaxed and friendly, its cultures vibrant, yet, to a greater degree than is true of many of its neighbors, this sprawling
county, the largest in East Africa, remains untouched by the vacationing hordes. This photographic safari vacation lets
you discover these and more in comfort and style.

delightful park, covering an area of 2,600 sq km was established in 1970, and it is the numerous
baobab trees that will initially catch your eye. The Tarangire National Park derives its name from the
Tarangire River that rises in the highlands of central Tanzania and winds its way through the game
sanctuary. The river irresistibly lures the herds of plains migrants from the parched surrounding area
to its shrunken – but permanent – brackish waters during the dry season.

1911, but it was not until 1959 that Dr. Mary Leakey unearthed the Zinj skull believed to be 1.8
million years old. after the gorge you will proceed to your private mobile tented camp. Settle into
your camp before heading out for an afternoon of game viewing. The short grass plains of the
Serengeti combined with an abundant source of food in large herds of zebra, wildebeest, impala and
buffalo, make the Serengeti an ideal place to spot cheetah on the hunt. Prepare to put your
photographic skills to test.
(Private Luxury Mobile Camp)
Day 7, 8 Serengeti (BLD):
The Serengeti surely is the nature photographers’ haven. There is nothing more exciting than having
a private tented camp site in the Serengeti. Don’t worry, as this is not “rough” camping. Your roomy
ensuite tent has a proper bed and hot showers are easily arranged. The culinary delights fixed over
an open fire rival that of five-star restaurants. And the joyous feeling you get sitting around the
campfire star-gazing is unsurpassed. Enjoy a full day of game viewing today.

Day 11 Serengeti-Ngorongoro (BLD):
Your drive this morning takes you to Olduvai Gorge for a brief visit to one of archaeology’s most
historic discoveries. After excavating the site for more than 28 years, Mary and Louis Leakey
unearthed one of the world’s most dramatic discoveries: the partial skull of “Nutcracker Man”, dating
back 1.75 million years. Their later discovery of homo habilis (Handy Man) added to the debate of
the origins of the first human. Continue to Ngorongoro Crater for the night.
(accommodation of your choice)
Day 12 Ngorongoro (BLD):
Professor B. Grzimek once wrote about Ngorongoro Crater: “It is impossible to give a fair description
of the size and beauty of the Crater, for there is nothing with which it can compare.” As you descend
to the floor of the crater, you will quickly agree with the Professor. The crater is one of the best
places for wildlife photography and comprises 100 square miles of the Conservation Area and
supports more than 25,000 mammals. Grazers like zebras and wildebeest dominate the landscape
but giraffes are notably absent as there is insufficient food to support them. Enjoy a full morning
game viewing on the crater’s floor.
(accommodation of your choice)
Day 13 Ngorongoro-Arusha (BL):
Drive to Arusha this morning where you will arrive for lunch, spend the afternoon at leisure and
