February: Beggining of March 8 day safari

Spend six glorious days in the best of Tanzanias Parks, home to what is considered the "Greatest wildlife spectacle on Earth". Nothing can prepare you for this- Millions of animals spread out over plains stretching to the horizon and beyond.

 

This is the calving season and the plains ring out with the bleats of newborn wildebeest calves. It's a time of new life, lots of action and stunning scenery on the classic African plains. This Safari is designed to catch up with the annual migration as the wildebeest return to the southern plains surrounding Lake Ndutu. The rains have fallen; causing the grasslands to flush green and the plains, littered with close to a million maternal beasts, give off a sense of blissful calm. Yet amongst all the grazing mothers and young lurk the predators. The calves and ewes attract a host of predators; from the cunning Jackal to the swift cheetah and, of course lion.

 

Highlights and what to photograph:  

The plains of the Serengeti offer almost unlimited opportunity for photography. It is a photographic nirvana that ensures cameras constantly trained on something exciting.
