7 Days Great Migration Safari

Take a scenic drive to the Central Serengeti. This region acts as a transition zone for the herds and is the "Big Cat Capital" of the park. Spend the afternoon capturing predators—lions and leopards—often found perched on the Moru Kopjes (granite outcrops). 

Photography Focus: Using "Kopjes" as dramatic backdrops for predator portraits.

Overnight: Will be at Sightseeing lodge located at Central Serengeti.

Head further north toward the Mara River sector. As you enter the Kogatende area, you will begin to see the "mega-herds" gathering. The landscape shifts to rolling hills and open woodland, providing excellent depth of field for wide-angle landscape shots of the migration. 

Photography Focus: Wide-angle "environmental portraits" of the endless wildebeest lines.

These days are dedicated entirely to the riverbanks. Patience is the photographer’s greatest tool here. You will wait for the "build-up"—when thousands of wildebeest congregate on the bank before the first brave individual plunges in.

Highlights: Capturing the chaos of the crossing, Nile crocodiles in action, and the dramatic dust clouds at the exit points.

Photography Focus: High shutter speeds to freeze the splashing water and action; panning shots to convey the frantic movement.

Overnight: Will be at North Serengeti

Where the herds gather, the predators follow. Today focuses on the high concentration of lions, cheetahs, and hyenas that patrol the river scanning for exhausted or injured animals. We will also explore the Lamai Wedge for secluded sightings and unique angles of the Mara River.

Photography Focus: Action sequences of predator-prey interaction and lowangle shots for an intimate perspective.

Enjoy one final "golden hour" game drive at sunrise to capture the Serengeti silhouettes. After a bush breakfast, transfer to the Kogatende Airstrip for your flight back to Arusha, connecting to your international departure.

Photography Focus: Sunrise silhouettes and backlight techniques.
