Arusha and Ngorongoro Tour Overview

Built for photographers who want time, light, and flexibility. From December–March, the Great Migration gathers on Ndutu’s short-grass plains to drop calves—predators follow. You’ll work dawn and golden-hour sessions with an expert photo-friendly guide, a private 4×4 set up with beanbags and charging, and unhurried field lunches. Where rules allow in Ndutu (NCAA) we may take limited off-road approaches; in Serengeti National Park, we keep to established roads.

Safari Types: Private • Photographic • Calving Season Focus • Honeymoon/Small-Group on request
Starting Point/End: Arusha or Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) — optional end in Arusha or Zanzibar
