7 days between Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro

Imagine waking up in the morning to the roar of a lion echoing across the savannah, or the laughter of a hyena roaming free and wild in search of food, or basking in a pandanus, or watching families of giraffes strolling across the plains while large herds of herbivores graze freely on the other side.

Imagine telling people when you get back that you saw so many animals that you didn’t know where to point your camera first.

This is the journey that awaits you.

Accompanied by Daniele Dell’Osa (Wildlife Photographer & Tour Leader), you will be enveloped by all his unbridled enthusiasm and engaging passion on a journey that will take you to discover the three most emblematic parks in Tanzania.

The kingdom of herbivores

Tarangire National Park is our first chapter.

Here the waterholes are a concentration of large pachyderms, zebras, warthogs and wildebeests, all drinking together, while in the centre of the pool pelicans swim watched by storks and eagles perched on the tree branches.

An open, rich and generous setting, perfect for entering the rhythm of unfiltered nature photography.

The heartbeat of the earth

Serengeti (derived from the Maasai word “Siringet or Esirinket”) carries the meaning of “endless plain” or “boundless plain”.

These attributes perfectly describe the environment and the vast territory of the national park, known for its grassy plains that stretch as far as the eye can see, the scene of the great phenomenon of the “Great Migration” (of international significance).

Leopards wait in the trees for the right moment before launching an attack on their hapless prey, and cheetahs, stationed on a termite mound, plan when to launch a projectile attack on gazelles.

Every hour holds an event, every sunset a work of art to be framed.

The amphitheater of life

Ngorongoro is a huge volcanic caldera that harbors a unique ecosystem. The crater has such a high concentration of wildlife that encounters are guaranteed: buffalo, hyenas, lions, wildebeests, zebras, elephants, and hippos. Everything within reach, no matter what the target.

A postcard-perfect scene that will force us to keep our eyes glued to the viewfinder so as not to miss that unique image we so desire.

When light becomes a story

Days are designed to follow the light, not the clocks.

The goal is not just to fill an SD card, but to bring home an indelible memory.

Cool mornings and fiery twilights will be there, your allies, to fill a soul: yours.
