This all-inclusive private safari is perfect for two couples or a group of four friends looking to experience and photograph the wonderful green season and all it has to offer.

This is our favorite time of year: it’s the low season for safaris which means there far fewer tourists around. The fantastic wildlife encounters are just as abundant, including the famous Great Migration and lush landscapes stretching as far as the eye can see.

Don’t make the mistake of letting the chance of rain showers scare you away — they are generally short-lived downpours and only add to the wild drama. The fact is thunderstorm clouds make for the incredible photographic conditions and are highly desired by those looking to capture great images.

This is a private safari so you will be free to do and see exactly what you want at the pace you’re comfortable with: concentrate on wildlife photography or just relax and enjoy the spectacular views and wildlife sightings.

We have picked specific dates here but this safari is available anytime from March 15 through the end of May and can be modified to suit your desires with prices adjusting to group sizes and itinerary changes.

This safari is a wonderful introduction to Tanzania - offering a private safari vehicle for four persons to explore the Serengeti ecosystem.

It covers four distinct habitats: the Ngorongoro Crater/Highlands, the Ndutu woodlands of the NCA, the Short Grass planes, and the Long Grass plains. Expect to see and photograph a tremendous diversity of wildlife, including the famous Great Migration and the Big 5. (Black Rhino in the Crater are usually seen, but often not close)

Given that this is a Private safari, you have the option to set your own priorities, modify the itinerary somewhat, change pre and post safari lodging, or adjust the date a bit to fit your schedule.
