East Africa
Tanzania
A land of extraordinary wildlife, volcanic landscapes, and the world's most spectacular safari destinations
Home / Destinations / Tanzania
Why Tanzania?
Tanzania is the crown jewel of East African safari destinations, home to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and Mount Kilimanjaro — Africa's highest peak.
With one of the highest concentrations of wildlife on the planet, Tanzania guarantees close encounters with lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, and the Big Five, all within landscapes so vast they feel untouched by time.
Our Northern Zone base in Arusha puts us at the gateway to all of Tanzania's greatest parks, enabling seamless multi-destination itineraries tailored around your photographic vision.
🦒
Extraordinary Wildlife
Home to over 4 million wild animals including the Big Five, cheetahs, wild dogs, flamingos, and 1,000+ bird species.
🏔️
Diverse Landscapes
From savanna and crater to mountain summit and coast — Tanzania packs an entire continent's worth of scenery.
📅
Year-Round Safari
Unlike many destinations, Tanzania offers rewarding game viewing every month of the year across different regions.
Tanzania
Serengeti National Park
Witness the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth — the Great Migration of over 1.5 million wildebeest
Home / Destinations / Serengeti
The Serengeti
Spanning 14,763 km² of open savanna, woodland, and riverine forest, the Serengeti is Tanzania's oldest and most visited national park. Its name derives from the Maasai word "Siringet" — meaning endless plains.
For photographers, the Serengeti is paradise. From the legendary river crossings of the Great Migration to intimate predator-prey encounters on the golden plains, every game drive delivers frame-filling moments.
Our expert guides know exactly where the herds are moving at any given month, maximising your chances of witnessing the most dramatic wildlife moments.
🦓
Great Migration
1.5 million wildebeest, 250,000 zebra, and 470,000 gazelle in the world's largest overland migration.
🦁
Predator Capital
One of the highest lion densities in Africa, plus cheetahs, leopards, and wild dogs on the open plains.
📸
Photographer's Paradise
World-class golden-hour light, open landscapes for wide compositions, and approachable wildlife year-round.
Best Times to Visit
Jan – Mar
Calving season in the south. Thousands of wildebeest born daily — predator action is intense and dramatic.
Jul – Oct
The famous Mara River crossings. Crocodile ambushes and thundering herds — the most iconic safari imagery.
Year Round
Resident Big Five, 500+ bird species, and classic savanna photography opportunities in every season.
Tanzania
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Descend into the world's largest intact volcanic caldera — a natural ark of extraordinary wildlife density
Home / Destinations / Ngorongoro
The Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest inactive, intact volcanic caldera — formed 2.5 million years ago. Its 260 km² floor is home to an estimated 25,000 large animals in one of Africa's densest wildlife ecosystems.
For photographers, the crater rim at sunrise — draped in mist with the caldera floor glowing below — is one of the most magical scenes in all of Africa. The enclosed ecosystem means wildlife is reliably present and approachable throughout the year.
Residents include Tanzania's most reliable Black Rhino population, lions, hyena clans, elephants, hippos, flamingos, and vast herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle.
🦏
Black Rhino
One of Tanzania's best locations to photograph critically endangered black rhinos in their natural habitat.
🌋
Ancient Caldera
2.5 million years old — a primordial landscape barely changed since its volcanic formation.
🌅
Rim Sunrises
The misty crater rim at dawn is one of photography's greatest natural backdrops — ethereal and unforgettable.
Indian Ocean Island
Zanzibar
White sands, turquoise waters, and a rich Swahili culture — the perfect finale to any Tanzania safari
Home / Destinations / Zanzibar
The Spice Island
Zanzibar is a jewel of the Indian Ocean lying just 35 km off the Tanzanian coast. Its powdery white beaches, impossibly turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs make it one of the world's most beautiful island destinations.
Beyond the beaches, UNESCO-listed Stone Town offers centuries of Swahili, Arab, and Portuguese history captured in a labyrinth of carved doorways, busy bazaars, and rooftop restaurants.
For many visitors, Zanzibar is the perfect way to end a Serengeti safari — trading the dusty plains for pristine ocean and swaying palms.
🏖️
World-Class Beaches
Nungwi, Kendwa, and Paje beaches rival the Maldives for sheer beauty — ideal for golden-hour photography.
🐠
Marine Life
Coral reefs teeming with tropical fish, dolphins, sea turtles, and humpback whales in season.
🕌
Stone Town
A UNESCO World Heritage Site — a living city of carved wooden doors and Swahili cultural fusion.
Central Africa
Rwanda & Uganda
Journey into misty mountain forests for a life-changing encounter with endangered mountain gorillas
Home / Destinations / Rwanda & Uganda
Land of Gorillas
Rwanda and Uganda share the Virunga volcanic mountain range and the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest — the last refuges on earth for endangered mountain gorillas. With fewer than 1,000 individuals remaining, a gorilla trekking permit is one of the world's most coveted wildlife experiences.
Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park is where Dian Fossey made her groundbreaking gorilla research, immortalised in "Gorillas in the Mist." Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is Africa's most biodiverse rainforest.
We combine gorilla encounters with golden monkey tracking, chimpanzee trekking, and landscape photography of the rolling "Land of a Thousand Hills."
🦍
Mountain Gorillas
Spend one golden hour with a habituated gorilla family — an encounter that profoundly changes all who experience it.

Home / Special Tours / Gorilla Trekking
The Gorilla Experience
Gorilla trekking is widely regarded as one of the most powerful wildlife encounters on earth. After hiking through dense mountain forest with expert trackers, you'll spend one precious hour with a habituated gorilla family — close enough to make eye contact with a 200kg silverback.
We offer gorilla trekking in both Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park and Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Each location offers a uniquely different forest environment and gorilla family dynamics.
Our photography-focused treks position you for the best angles, help you understand lighting in the dense forest canopy, and provide guidance on camera settings for low-light conditions.

We offer shared and private game drives, walking safaris with armed guides, and fly-camping experiences for those who want a night under the stars in the wilderness.

Essential Safari Tips
Our experts share their top advice for an incredible and trouble-free adventure
💊
Health & Vaccinations
Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for Tanzania and Rwanda. Consult your doctor 6-8 weeks before departure about malaria prophylaxis, hepatitis A/B, typhoid, and meningitis. Carry prescription anti-malarials and a first-aid kit. Travel insurance with medical evacuation cover is essential.
🧳
What to Pack
Neutral earth-tone clothing (khaki, olive, tan). Lightweight long-sleeved shirts for sun and insect protection. A warm layer for early morning drives. Wide-brimmed hat, polarised sunglasses, high-factor sunscreen. Comfortable walking shoes. Power bank and universal plug adapter. Dust-proof camera bag.
📷
Photography Essentials
Bring a 400-600mm telephoto for wildlife and a wide-angle for landscapes. Plenty of memory cards and spare batteries. A beanbag or window mount for stability. Lens cloths for dust. Shoot RAW for maximum editing latitude. Protect lenses with UV filters. A laptop for nightly backups is highly recommended.
💲
Money & Payments
US Dollars are widely accepted. Bring crisp, clean bills (post-2006). ATMs available in Arusha and Kigali but rare in the bush. Budget $10-15 per day for your guide tip and $5 for other staff. Credit cards accepted at most lodges.
📅
Best Time to Visit
Tanzania is spectacular year-round. The dry season (June-October) offers excellent game viewing. January-March brings the Serengeti calving season — extraordinary predator action. April-May sees fewer visitors, lush landscapes, and reduced prices — a great value window.
✈
Getting There
Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) is the main gateway for Northern Tanzania, served by Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, KLM, and Qatar Airways. For Rwanda, fly into Kigali International (KGL) via RwandAir or Brussels Airlines. We assist with flight recommendations.

Everything you need to know before, during, and after your safari with us
Home / Plan Your Trip / FAQs
Planning Your Trip
How far in advance should I book?

100% refund for cancellations 60+ days before departure, 50% refund 30-59 days before, and no refund within 30 days. We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance.
Do you accept solo travellers?
Absolutely. We welcome solo photographers and can match you with small group departures to keep costs manageable, or offer private solo safaris for an exclusive experience.
Is Tanzania safe for travellers?
Tanzania is one of East Africa's most stable and tourist-friendly nations. The safari parks are very safe environments and we monitor all conditions carefully and follow government travel advisories.
What vaccinations are required?
A yellow fever certificate is mandatory for Tanzania and Rwanda. We recommend consulting your doctor about malaria prophylaxis, hepatitis A/B, typhoid, and routine vaccinations 6-8 weeks before departure.
On Safari
What vehicles do you use?
Toyota Land Cruiser 4WDs modified for photography — pop-up roof hatches, beanbag rails, USB charging points, first-aid kits, and a cooler for water and snacks during long drives.
How many people per vehicle?
Maximum 6 guests per Land Cruiser. For photography-specific safaris, we recommend a maximum of 4 per vehicle for optimal shooting positions.
What is the food like on safari?
Lodge and camp food is generally excellent — fresh, varied, and often featuring local produce. We accommodate all dietary requirements including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and halal diets.
Is there Wi-Fi in the parks?
Coverage is limited in most parks but most lodges offer Wi-Fi. Download offline maps and music before departure. Many guests find this digital detox to be one of the best parts of the safari experience.
Do I need photography experience?
Not at all — our tours welcome photographers of all levels, from beginners with smartphones to professionals with specialist equipment. Our guides tailor their coaching to your specific level and gear.
