  • Alkaline Lake Spectacles: Visit Lake Manyara and Lake Natron for dramatic, large-scale congregations of flamingos and waterbirds set against a stunning Rift Valley backdrop.

  • Wilderness Islands: Venture to Mafia Island for a different pace, targeting sought-after seabirds, mangrove specialists, and the elusive Mafia Scops-Owl.

PHOTO-CENTRIC GREEN SEASONS

The vast herds of migratory wildebeest make their return to the short-grass plains of the southern Serengeti. Roughly 600,000 of these wildebeest are pregnant females, ready to drop their calves between late January and early March. You will have the exclusive opportunity to stay in a lodge or camp located right in the heart of the southern plains, and with some luck, you will have a front row seat to this amazing spectacle. This safari also invites the central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater for immense wildlife photographing.

 

PHOTO-CENTRIC DRY SEASONS

ThE dry seasons safari focuses on the world famous Ngorongoro Crater, as well as both the central and northern Serengeti for big cats nature-offered shots.The crater and central Serengeti hold immense numbers of resident wildlife and it's where the big five and the world’s densest population of large mammals congregate, and the northern Serengeti’s Koga will be brimming with migratory activity, as nearly few million grazers arrive in search of green pasture. It is at this time of year when travelers have the best chances of photographing the famed Mara River crossings in an eye-wondering numbers.
