Wildlife Photography & Mara River Crossing Safari the most exciting, heart-pounding safari in Africa, it is arguably the greatest wildlife photography experience in the natural. Our vehicles are fully extended Land Cruisers specially designed to give photographers the most flexibility and maximum space. The roof has a special leather roll back top. Experienced Safari Guides Our
driver guides are all silver rated and have thousands of hours of experience throughout the entire Northern Tanzania.
If you use a full-frame DSLR or mirrorless camera you will need to cover focal lengths from 200-600mm or more for most wildlife situations in Tanzania. If you use a crop-sensor camera, adjust the focal lengths accordingly. You will also find a wide angle lens good for landscape photography and a short focal length telephoto good for some wildlife situations (for example, very close elephants and other mammals, or groups of animals). There will be only limited opportunities to use a macro lens. If you bring a good quality bridge camera it will be best if it has an optical zoom of 18-20x or more, combined with a reasonable wide-angle at the other end of the zoom range.
Be sure to bring plenty of spare battery power. Dust is ever-present in northern Tanzania, so cleaning equipment is important. A beanbag can be very useful here for wildlife photography from the vehicle

Drive alongside African bush elephants in Tarangire National Park, After breakfast, your driver will pick you up from your hotel to drive southwest to one of Tanzania's many natural treasures: Tarangire National Park. This 1,000-sq-mile (2,600-sq-km) protected area may only be the sixth largest national park in the country, but there's no shortage of incredible wildlife here. It's one of Tanzania's finest birding destinations, as there are almost 500 avian species in the park. Plus, during the migratory season of July to October, there are incredible numbers of plains game like wildebeests, antelope, and zebras.
However, elephants are the main attraction in Tarangire. Up to 3,000 roam the park during the peak months between June and November. Other common animals include giraffes, the Thompson's gazelle, greater and lesser kudus, elands, leopards, and cheetahs. However, the real prizes in the park are the dwarf mongoose, oryx, and gerenuk (also called the "giraffe gazelle")—but sightings are pretty rare.
The best part is that, because Tarangire is a quiet, often overlooked park, there are fewer crowds to witness the spectacle of its migrating residents. You'll arrive at the park in time for lunch and later embark on an afternoon game drive to view the abundant wildlife.

Local artwork in Mto Wa Mbu, Wake up early for one last exploration of Tarangire. Around midday, enjoy a picnic lunch and then head north to the village of Mto Wa Mbu. This farming community of around 18,000 people is unique in that it's one of the only places where all of Tanzania's some 120 tribes live side by side.
Afterward, you'll continue to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the lodge where you'll stay. The area is named after the Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest volcanic caldera. This UNESCO World Heritage Site measures 1,968 feet (600 m) in depth and covers 100 sq miles (260 sq km). It's also unique in that over 40,000 Masaai tribespeople live here, and their cattle, goats, and sheep graze right alongside the abundant wildlife. This offers rare insight into a way of living in harmony with nature that has hardly changed since ancient times.

The Ngorongoro CraterAfter breakfast, head down to the crater's base for a full-day, 4x4 tour around Ngorongoro. There will be ample opportunities to spot exotic wildlife throughout the day. This area, which is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa, is home to over 20,000 large animals. Here you can spot buffaloes, elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, hippos, hyenas, jackals, ostriches, warthogs, and vast herds of gazelles. Also, thanks to anti-poaching patrols, the crater is one of the few places in East Africa where visitors are sure to see black rhinos.
Most interesting, however, might be the region's anthropological wonders. Archeological studies at Ngorongoro have revealed evidence of human evolution dating back some four million years. This includes fossilized footprints of early Homo sapiens and remains that document the development of stone technology.

In the morning, you'll leave Ngorongoro and head north on a 3-hour drive toward Serengeti National Park, but you'll have the option to stop on the way at Olduvai Gorge. This vast gorge (about 30 miles long and 300 feet deep) is home to paleoan thropological sites that have been crucial in furthering our understanding of human evolution. It's famous for the evolutionary discoveries of some of the earliest signs of human development. Hundreds of fossilized bones and stone tools have been found in the area dating back millions of years, concluding that humans evolved in Africa.
Accommodation : Embalakai Serengeti Tented Camp | Meals : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
During this time, we will cover as much of the Central Serengeti as we can. Big herds and big cats that is what has made the Serengeti famous worldwide. Lion, leopard, and cheetah, will be our focus while in this very productive Again, you can expect to be up early and returning to camp in the evening, or as conditions warrant.
Accommodation : Embalakai Serengeti Tented Camp | Meals : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
In the morning, head onto the plains and discover the Serengeti on a full-day tour. There's a lot to see here, as the Serengeti ecosystem is one of the oldest. Besides being a great place to spot Big Five animals in their natural habitat, the Serengeti hosts the annual Great Migration. This "greatest wildlife show on earth" sees more than a million wildebeest, plus hundreds of thousands of zebras and Thomson's gazelles, undertaking the long trek to new grazing grounds. Today you'll explore the northern region of Serengeti, near the Massai Mara Reserve in neighboring Kenya, as this is the main route of the migration.
