JOIN OUR JOURNEY TO THE HEART TANZANIA
IN A UNIQUE TRIP DESIGNED FOR
WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHERS
DAILY ITINERARY
DAY 1 - Arrival - Kilimanjaro
DAY 2 - Tarangire National Park - The Savannah's Life Source
After an early breakfast, we’ll head out to the Tarangire National Park, the third-largest nature reserve in Tanzania and home to a particularly large population of elephants. Animals flock here because of the Tarangire River, which serves as the only source of water in the area. The variety of animals is amazing: lions, tigers, cheetahs, and almost six thousand elephants. After sunset, we’ll return to the Ndutu Luxury Lodge for dinner with a spectacular view.
DAY 3 - Ndutu Nature Reserve - Kingdom of Cheetahs
After breakfast, we’ll drive through Ndutu Nature Reserve, one of the most fascinating reserves in Africa, and home to one of the most amazing animals in the world - the Cheetah. We'll take advantage of the last light and the magical golden hour before heading back to our pampering accommodation at Ndutu Luxury Lodge.
DAY 4 - Ndutu & the Serengeti - Mother of All Nature Reserves
DAY 6 - Serengeti National Park - Another Day in Paradise
On this day we’ll travel to different areas in search of various adventures and experiences. We’ll focus on the great predators and their way of life, and try to photograph them while using the unique lighting that changes throughout the day. If we still have time and energy, in the evening when we return to the Serengeti Serena Lodge we can convene after dinner for a fascinating lecture or to review the footage.
DAY 5 - Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, we’ll head out for another full day of nature and wildlife in the Serengeti National Park. We’ll follow the animals of the reserve – who’ve been roaming, eating and getting eaten without interruption for thousands of years. We'll have a packed lunch in the field and then ride along with the bodies of water in search of crocodiles, hippos and lion prides in the bushes. When we’re done, we'll return to the Serengeti Serena Lodge for dinner and spend the night there.
DAY 7 - Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area
DAY 8 - A Day All About Ngorongoro
DAY 9 - Arusha and Return Home
After breakfast, we’ll return to Arusha, and time permitting, we’ll stop on the way at interesting villages and markets before we take off home, depending on your flight schedule. Going home can be difficult after such an incredible journey. It's a good thing you have all those photos to relive your experience for long after it's over.
