In search of the wild soul of the Dark Continent

A photographic adventure that heads straight to the beating heart of Tanzania and its most iconic parks: Arusha National Park with walking safaris accompanied by rangers, the magical pools of Tarangire National Park, the tribes and last hunters of Lake Eyasi, the boundless Serengeti and the majestic Ngorongoro Crater.

This trip was conceived and designed for those who wish to experience and document wild nature in all its power. Accompanied by Daniele Dell’Osa, wildlife photographer and tour leader.

It will be a 9-day full safari, completely immersed in primordial landscapes populated by elephants, lions, cheetahs, endless herds of herbivores (wildebeest, zebras, gazelles and antelopes), hippo pools and everything the savannah has to offer.

The photographic experience

This adventure was designed for nature photographers who are passionate about taking home unique images of unusual scenery and rare wildlife sightings.

From dawn to dusk we will be on the lookout for unique and original situations (predations, clashes, mating, interactions) following the best lights of the day.
We will focus on capturing animals on the move.
We will be waiting for the right moment, when we sense that predation or a clash may occur.

The route

From Mount Kilimanjaro watching over us to the endless plains of shepherds with their flocks, from the vast plains of the Serengeti to the tents of tribal chiefs, each stage is designed to offer an extraordinary diversity of scenarios and subjects, alternating moments of maximum concentration and observation, photography and videography, and moments of relaxation in the lodges within the parks.

Wildlife and encounters

Tanzania is home to the largest land mammals such as giraffes, elephants, rhinos and hippos, as well as a battleground for the big cats: lions, cheetahs and leopards, often competing with opportunistic animals such as hyenas and jackals.

Action shots, intimate portraits, colorful subjects, and ambient images will enrich your photography portfolio.

An excellent opportunity to immortalize wildlife, natural as it is, without filters, in a truly unique setting.
