A Tanzania Photo Safari is truly a bucket list worthy experience. There’s no other place on the planet that provides this kind of access to so much diverse wildlife.

On this incredible Tanzania Photo Safari, we’ll hit three of Tanzania’s best National Parks – Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire.

We’ll also make time to visit a real (and off the beaten path) Maasai Village so you can experience what a day in the life of a Maasai is really like! Not to mention we’ve set you up to get some amazing Maasai portrait opportunities!

Craving for more? No worries, I’ve got you. I always have a surprise in store for my guests. =)

Join me for adventure, photography, and giving back in the beautiful and friendly country of Tanzania.

I want to reiterate that this adventure is not just for amateur photographers and enthusiasts who own a lot of photography gear. There’s an old saying and I’m not sure of the origin however it rings true to for this amazing photo safari –

“The best camera is the one you have with you.”

One can take excellent photos with today’s mobile devices IF one knows what they’re doing. Photography fundamentals such as lighting and composition apply no matter what camera or cell phone a person is using.

I promise you that your photography skills will improve and you’ll come away with amazing photos no matter what camera you decide to bring. That said, if you have gear bring it.

Here’s an extensive list of gear I recommend…

  • Cell Phone w/Camera
  • dSLR or Mirrorless
  • Memory Cards
  • Extra Batteries
  • Wide Angle Lens (14mm – 24mm)
