Witness Nature’s Greatest Show
Join us in northern Tanzania to photograph one of the most extraordinary wildlife events on Earth—the Great Migration. Each year, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles cross the Mara River in a dramatic search for fresh grazing grounds. This journey is unpredictable, raw, and visually unforgettable.
More Than the Migration
While the river crossings are a highlight, the surrounding days are just as rewarding. You’ll photograph predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards as they shadow the herds, along with elephants, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, and a wide variety of birdlife. The northern Serengeti offers expansive visibility and dynamic wildlife activity throughout each day.
Built for Photographers
With exclusive vehicle arrangements—each participant gets their own row—you’ll have room to move, shoot, and manage your gear without compromise. Early morning and afternoon game drives are planned around wildlife movement and light. You’ll receive field instruction, guidance on fast-action shooting, and daily feedback to help sharpen your vision.
Small Group, Seamless Support
Limited to just six participants, this workshop ensures personal attention, flexible logistics, and immersive access to one of Africa’s most iconic ecosystems. All internal flights, transport, park fees, and accommodations are arranged for a streamlined, photography-first experience.
