A photography-led safari built around the Big Five. Spend six days with a specialist guide and private vehicle in Tarangire, the Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, photographing lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino in the best light.
Your photography safari begins with a morning pickup from your Arusha hotel. After a briefing on camera settings and vehicle positioning, drive to Tarangire National Park. Spend the afternoon on a slow game drive along the Tarangire River.
Depart after an early breakfast and drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area towards the Serengeti. The transit is a game drive in itself. Enter the Serengeti by midday, check in at camp and enjoy lunch. In the afternoon, head out for your first Serengeti shoot in the Seronera Valley.
A full day in the Serengeti's photographic heart. Start before dawn to catch the first light. After a bush breakfast, continue through the Seronera Valley, focusing on lion prides, leopards in trees, cheetahs on termite mounds, elephant herds and buffalo at waterholes.
Today you expand your range, exploring different sectors of the Serengeti ecosystem to target each member of the Big Five. Morning light is spent in areas known for leopard and lion activity, while the afternoon may take you toward elephant corridors and open plains.
Leave the Serengeti after breakfast and drive toward the Ngorongoro Highlands. Arrive at the crater rim in time for lunch at Rhino Lodge, then descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a half-day game drive. This is your best opportunity to complete the Big Five portfolio.
Your final morning begins with an early crater rim shoot or a short descent to capture the caldera in first light. After breakfast at Rhino Lodge, drive back to Arusha for lunch. Continue to Moshi where a comfortable hotel night is included.

Your private 4x4 is fitted with a pop-up roof, bean bags, camera mounts and charging ports. The vehicle is configured for just two to four photographers so everyone has window access and space to rotate angles.
