Our photo safari gives you an in-depth view of the natural history of East Africa, while combining that with a special emphasis on wildlife photography. The photo safari will encompass visits to the elephant herds of Tarangire National Park, the wildlife of the Serengeti and Nogorongoro Crater. We’ll see all of the major plains animals, zebras, giraffes, impalas, gazelles, and other herbivores. There will also be baboons and monkeys, herds of water buffalo and other large animals, and some of the most wonderful bird life you will ever see.
