Your experienced guide will help you locate the best wildlife hotspots, advise on photography techniques, and suggest angles to capture unforgettable moments. Beyond photography, you’ll also immerse yourself in the beauty of the Serengeti’s landscapes, the golden savannahs, dramatic skies, and the unique ecosystem that supports one of the most extraordinary concentrations of wildlife on Earth. Each day combines adventure, education, and the chance to create memories through your lens that will last a lifetime.
Day 1 — Arrival in Arusha
Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport and meet your professional safari guide. After a warm welcome, transfer to a comfortable lodge in Arusha for dinner and overnight stay. Spend the evening preparing your photography gear, reviewing tips from your guide, and enjoying the tranquil lodge environment as anticipation builds for the Serengeti adventure ahead.
Day 2 — Arusha → Serengeti National Park
Depart early and journey through the scenic Ngorongoro Highlands to the iconic Serengeti plains. Upon arrival, embark on an afternoon game drive to locate your first subjects — lions lounging in the sun, herds of zebras grazing, or giraffes silhouetted against the savannah. Capture wildlife in their natural habitat with guidance on composition, angles, and timing. Return to your lodge or tented camp in the evening for a relaxing dinner and to review the day’s photos.
Day 3 — Full-Day Serengeti Photography
Spend the entire day in the heart of the Serengeti on multiple game drives. Your guide identifies wildlife-rich zones where you can photograph lions, cheetahs, elephants, and vast herds of wildebeest.

Enjoy a bush lunch in the wilderness and continue photographing the vast savannah, learning techniques for framing, perspective, and timing from your experienced guide.
Day 4 — Exploring Key Serengeti Wildlife Hotspots
Explore additional regions of the Serengeti to track elusive predators, river crossings, or seasonal migration herds. Focus on capturing dynamic wildlife behavior — hunting, interactions, and playful animal moments. Enjoy lunch amidst picturesque landscapes, while taking candid shots of the natural scenery and wildlife. This is a full day of immersive photography, with evening reflection and review of your best shots back at camp.
Day 5 — Serengeti → Arusha & Departure
Enjoy a final morning game drive to capture last-minute shots of the Serengeti wildlife.
