Best of the Serengeti: Wildebeest Migration and Calving Season

February 18 – 28, 2024

Few wildlife locations on the planet can match the Serengeti and the abundance of wildlife and bird life. Nearly two million zebras, wildebeest, and other antelope journey yearly to the northwest between Tanzania’s Serengeti and grassy plains. It is an epic journey searching for greener pastures that inevitably draws many of Africa’s most iconic predators.

We’ve been leading safaris to this part of Africa for over a decade—you won’t find a more meticulously researched itinerary. We will be joined by experienced local guides, each well-known to us and versed in the particular needs of photographers. Photography opportunities will be unparalleled—we’ll fly directly into the Serengeti and stay in exclusive camps far from the typical crowds. We’ve also arranged for custom-designed Land Cruisers to give us great vantage on the action. Only one photographer per row in the vehicles means plenty of room to spread out gear and nearly unobstructed views. Expect to see and photograph wildebeest and zebras with their young, elephants, rhinos, and predators like lions, leopards, and cheetahs, all living in iconic East African vistas!

Unlike most African safaris, this one is geared exclusively towards improving your photography. There will be plenty of instruction in the field and our signature image reviews back at camp. There will also be plenty of time to relax and take in your surroundings in one of the most beautiful destinations on Earth. This safari is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any wildlife photography enthusiast!
