During this trip we can enjoy all the beauty Tanzania has to offer. We travel during the low season, this way we aren’t bothered by the many jeeps scouting for the best view points. We always have the best spot and we can decide ourselves how long we spend time with the animals to get the best photos. The landscape is luscious green, what gives that extra little touch to wildlife photography. You can see the animals just as good as in any other season. This ‘wildest’ photography tour in Tanzania is an unforgettable experience. The shoots with the Masai warriors and the Hadzabe are unique and you have the chance to meet them!

Day 1: Arrival Kilimanjaro
You arrive at Kilimanjaro airport. Once all participants are complete we will head to the hotel. The arrival day is all about acclimatization and of course the welcome meeting with all the information about the trip.
Day 2: Nairobi – Tarangire
Early morning our Tanzania adventure starts. After we arranged all permits, we head out to Tarangire National Park, where we have the entire afternoon and sunset for our first game drive.
Day 3: Tarangire National Park
Early in the morning we set off to use the magical light of the sunrise in our compositions. We have a full day of wildlife spotting at our disposal and start by tracking the lions, which are most active in the morning hours. This park is a picture with its immensely powerful Baobab trees. We spend the night in the park so that we can make the most of the day.
Day 4: Tarangire Nightdrive
Up early, we naturally want to catch the morning light. This is only possible if we stay in the park itself. We spend the entire morning thoroughly enjoying this unique park. In the afternoon, we have a free time to relax. In the evening, we have a spectacular night drive, where we can observe wildlife at night.
Day 5: Tarangire – local school
As we wake up, we'll take our final morning game drive in Tarangire. After lunch, we'll visit a local school. Here, we'll get a good impression of education in Tanzania and you'll have the chance to meet the children. To make a valuable contribution, you're welcome to bring something to donate, such as notebooks, pens, clothing, toothbrushes, etc.
Day 6: Hadzabe & Datoga blacksmith tribe
After breakfast, we head to Lake Eyasi, where the Hadzabe await us. These are the last remaining bushmen of their kind. Here, we'll have a photoshoot with the bushmen and also visit the traditional Datoga tribe. The rest of the day is free for us to recharge or for a photo discussion.
Day 7: Serengeti National Reserve
We strengthen our inner man with a hearty breakfast. Today we will meet the Masaai and will of course include a photo opportunity. Serengeti National Park awaits us. This famous wildlife reserve with its vast landscapes lives up to its fame. Falling asleep with the sounds of the animals is a special experience. We also have a great chance of witnessing the great migration that runs until October.
Day 8: Serengeti National Reserve
We have the whole day at our disposal and of course we are there during the most beautiful light of the day, around sunrise and sunset. Diversity of wildlife is guaranteed and we do everything we can to capture the leopard, lion and cheetah on the sensitive plate. A day full of excitement and sensation, Serengeti offers it all.
Day 9: Serengeti – Masai village
Up nice and early. We're going to make the most of our morning in Serengeti before heading to the Maasai community, where we'll have a photoshoot in their village in the afternoon. On the way back, we'll naturally stop for a moment to enjoy the beautiful view of the Ngorogoro Crater. We're deliberately skipping the park itself, as it's too crowded to visit.
Day 10: Arusha
We'll also be using the day dedicated to our return journey to reflect on our trip, and if you'd like, souvenirs can be purchased. If you'd prefer to rest before your return trip, that's certainly possible too! Depending on your return flight, you can book an additional hotel stay if you'd like. We're happy to assist you with this.
