Arrive at Kilimanjaro Airport and transfer to a boutique lodge in Arusha. Rest and freshen up before meeting your photography guide for an evening briefing covering camera settings, low-light techniques, and what to expect during the migration. Enjoy dinner while preparing for the adventure ahead.
Dinner
Transfer to Serengeti by flight or scenic drive. Upon arrival, begin your first game drive focusing on midday portrait shots and sunset silhouettes. The Central Serengeti offers ideal backgrounds—rocky kopjes, open plains, and predator territories. Arrive at your photographic camp for dinner and overnight.
All meals included
Spend the day tracking the herds depending on the season—crossings near the Mara River in the north or calving in the south. Capture running wildebeest, dust trails, zebras drinking, stalking lions, and dramatic herd movements. Your guide positions the vehicle for the best lighting and composition. End with sunset backlighting for emotional wildlife portraits.
All meals included
Start at sunrise to capture golden low-angle light over the plains. Focus on predators following the migration—cheetahs using termite mounds for vantage points, lion prides coordinating hunts, and hyenas interacting with the herds. Afternoon spent photographing elephants and giraffes with wide-angle framing and landscape shots.
All meals included
Depart Serengeti with opportunities to shoot Maasai herders, acacia-dotted plains, and wildlife along the route. Enter the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and arrive at a crater-view lodge. Capture a breathtaking sunset over the crater rim—one of the most iconic photography spots in Africa.
All meals included
Descend into the crater early to catch soft morning light. The crater floor offers close-range photography of rhinos, lions, elephants, flamingos, and large hippo pools. Shoot wide-angle scenes of the crater walls and utilize reflections during calm water moments. Afternoon features backlit opportunities and animal interactions before returning to the lodge.
All meals included
Drive back to Arusha with en-route photography stops. Enjoy a final lunch and an optional Lightroom/Photoshop mini-session with your guide. Transfer to the airport for departure or continue with extensions to Tarangire or Zanzibar.
