Day 2: Arusha / Serengeti
We start our day early, after a wonderful breakfast, and a pre-departure orientation, we set off for the Serengeti in a
charted flight. After landing in the Serengeti, get your cameras ready as we embark on an adventurous game drive. We will go
to our base camp for lunch. After lunch we will discuss some photo techniques and ideas that will help you take better
pictures while out on safari. An afternoon game drive will give us a preview of the million plus wildebeests and zebras of
the migration. We spend the next few nights in exclusive private tented bush camps in the Serengeti. Our camps are Mobile
Luxury Tented camps. Each spacious tent has en suite bathroom facilities. The camps are intimately integrated in the
surrounding African bush. It offers guests the perfect balance between comfort, privacy and tranquil isolation.

One of the oldest ecosystems on earth is the Serengeti. The necessary elements of climate, vegetation and fauna have almost
remained the same over the past million years. It’s the “Great Migration” for which Serengeti is most popular. Over a
million wildebeest and about 250,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains
every October and November, and then circulate west and north after the long rains in April, May and June. The ancient
instinct to move is so powerful that no drought, gorge or crocodile infested rivers can keep them back. Words alone don’t do
the Serengeti justice. It is a place of pure beauty and raw nature. For a photographer there just aren’t other places that
can eclipse the opportunities this majestic place offers. We will spend very full days photographing in this wonderful
ecosystem.

Our Private Luxury Tented camps have different strategic locations throughout the year in order to be near areas with higher
animal concentrations. We will be camping in two different areas of the Serengeti.

Day 3: Serengeti
Serengeti wildlife and landscape photography will be plentiful these days. Venture on morning and afternoon game drives or
take an optional hot-air balloon safari to view the Serengeti plains from above. If you have opted for the optional balloon
safari you will follow it with a champagne breakfast. After your breakfast you will be reunited with the rest of the group
for a continuation of your photographic adventure.
Overnight: Private Luxury Tented Camp

Day 4:Serengeti / Olduvai / Ngorongoro

Cradle of Mankind” where on expeditions in the early 1960’s , Louis and Mary Leakey discovered “Homo Habilis”, regarded as
one of the earliest members of the human genus. After a brief presentation we will have access to a small but informative
Olduvai museum.

Later this day we will have the opportunity to visit the Masai at one of their local Bomas(village). We will be able to see
and experience the way they live, work, and celebrate. Perhaps be invited into a Masai Inkajijik (house). Photo
opportunities will abound with these wonderful people.

Our luxury lodge for the next two nights will be on top of the crater rim, where you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the crater,
while sipping sundowners next to a warm fireplace.

Day 5 Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater is one of the greatest natural spectacles of the world. It’s caldera is a stunning 12 miles across and
covers over 150 square miles of majestical flora and fauna. This is home to some of the few remaining black rhinos found in
east Africa. Four out of the ”Big five” mammals can easily be seen in the crater on any given day. Animals are in abundance
in the crater year round due to plentiful water and food. Encounter some of the biggest bull elephants found anywhere. But
don’t just be on the lookout for lions and hyenas, as cheetahs, serval cats and many other predatory mammals roam throughout
the crater. Ngorongoro Crater is truly an African eden, we will descend 2000 feet into this caldera where more than 25,000
animals graze and hunt. We will set out on a search for elephants, black rhinos, buffalo, cheetahs, lions, hyenas, hippos,
wildebeests and many more of East Africa’s superb wildlife. We will enjoy picnic lunches while out in the crater.
