Join Stu Porter on a photo safari to witness some of
nature's spectacles in two of TANZANIA's premier wildlife
destinations, the NGORONGORO CRATER and the SERENGETI
NATIONAL PARK
This safari will begin in Arusha where we will overnight.
We then drive on very good tarmac roads to the famous
Ngorongoro Crater, a true spectacle not to be missed. We
stay 2 nights at a prime location, Sopa Lodgewhich is only
10 mins. from the entrance to the decent road into the
Crater. This ancient collapsed volcano is truly a wonder to
see. The crater floor is heavily populated with a variety of
animals and the wall of the crater offers a dramatic
backdrop for photography. We spend the entire day in the
crater with a packed breakfast and lunch. We return to Sopa
Lodge at the end of a full day of photography.
After a good breakfast we depart on a 3.5 hr. road journey
to the world famous Serengeti National Park. We arrive
around midday and after checking in through the main gate we
begin exploring the central Serengeti.
At the end of another full day we arrive at our Tented Camp.
Beautifully situated en-suite tents await you, along with a
well deserved hot shower!
Dinners are enjoyed in the dining tent whilst listening to
the nocturnal sounds of the African bush. We spend a total
of 4 nights in the central Serengeti exploring the varied
landscapes, which include the Kopjes (granite outcrops of
rock) these offer fantastic scenic shots and are a
characteristic of the central Serengeti.
After 4 nights we head to the Southern Serengeti
photographing along the way. We now enter a different
landscape, open grassland! This is where the Wildebeest and
Zebra gather in their thousands during the months of January
and February. The grass is sweet, it is open and here they
give birth to their offspring.
Of course the predators are never too far behind and we
spend the next 4 nights exploring this area which includes
Lake Ndutu and Lake Masek. Our camp is located near Lake
Ndutu and overlooks the Marsh. These are luxury tents with
en-suite facilities and a communal area for recharging
batteries.
At the end of our last 4 nights we travel to the Ndutu
Airstrip (20 mins from the camp and fly back to Kilimanjaro
International Airport where we will be able to connect with
our international flights.
The tour will accommodate a maximum of 6 participants in 3
vehicles (2 per vehicle). Stu Porter will lead the tour and
will alternate between the vehicles each day to offer photo
tuition and guidance.
Highlights of this safari are the unusual Ngorongoro Crater,
beautiful scenery, excellent predator action in particular
Lion and Cheetah. You also have the opportunity to witness
many thousands of Wildebeest and Zebra on the open grass
plains of the Southern Serengeti, with their new borns. The
chances of seeing births are very high.
