Great Migration Safari | Tour to the Serengeti, Tanzania.

With the Great Migration Safari we will be able to appreciate the wildlife that has always fascinated and stimulated our imagination of life in the immense African plains. And when I say immense I feel that the word does not fairly describe how vast and impressive they are.

Africa is home to hundreds of animal species, its ecosystems, and intricate and delicate balances of life and death. Living and feeling Africa is an experience that is not easy to forget and that will always stay with you.

Whether you are a nature lover, photographer or simply discovering a new destination; Africa is always an excellent choice. Discovering, photographing and getting to know the Big Five (Rhinos, Buffaloes, Elephants, Jaguars and Lions) in their natural environment is always an extra bonus.

These packages have been designed to help you learn about and marvel at this natural world. If you want a Private or Custom Tour, you can write to me at info@cyriljoseph.net.

The important thing is where to start and how to begin this journey that will allow you to marvel at the nature and wonders offered by the different destinations in Africa.

Through our program you will get to know the emblematic areas of Africa in depth and we will guide you by the hand so that you can achieve these incredible photographs.

Serengeti, Ngorongoro and even Manyara are part of our circuit to discover the wildlife of Tanzania. The Serengeti, widely known for its great variety of fauna of all kinds, will allow you to enjoy large spaces where prides of lions, elephants and other species coexist.

Our tour will allow us to see the great variety of environments typical of the African continent. Each park within the tour has its own particularities and offers very distinctive environments.

Through the Great Migration Safari, through the great plains we are guaranteed to enjoy the complete fauna in its most natural environment. Birds of various types, predators, herds of wildebeest, wild boar, elephants, lions among many others.

Our staff have vast experience offering services and attention to photographers, groups and solo or private circuits. Our guides and circuit leaders work full time in the wildlife, they know perfectly the terrain and routes areas. We seek to offer you a unique, welcoming and personal experience.

Our experience in Photographic Safaris has led us to keep small groups so we can offer to each one a better service and guidance throughout the entire circuit. We organize groups with no more than 12 people. Four (4) people per vehicle, which allows them to move safely and carry photography equipment without major inconvenience.

All our programs allow on each destination to fully get to know the wildlife. The dates indicated are chosen with care so that your visit is beneficial.

Our programs begin with the pick up at the airport. Depending on the time and day of arrival we can immediately start our adventure. Or sometimes we stay the first night in the Tourist Center and leave the next day.

We usually start very early. You will be awakened with coffee and cookies in your room or we will have an excellent continental breakfast. After breakfast we will start the day looking to capture those moments that only occur in Africa.

At noon and to take advantage of our stay we will have lunch in the park. This will allow us to regain strength, interact and quickly continue visiting the surroundings.

In the afternoon we will start our return to our lodging for an excellent dinner and well-deserved rest. At this time, we can meet in the central store or main hall to organize the next day and work on the protection of the photographs taken throughout the day. We can also advise and guide you on photo development techniques with Capture ONE and Photoshop.

The vehicles we use are optimized for wildlife viewing through both large windows and free of visual interference. The vehicles have 6 seats, but for the specific photography tours we only use 4 seats so that the mobility and transport of the equipment are smooth. As photographers we know the care and dimensions of lenses, support material, number of cameras needed, among others. That is why at the time of your reservation we are occupying each vehicle to its maximum capacity for photographic safaris. If a vehicle does not fill the minimum of 2 people, you can choose another date or pay a supplement. It is up to your preference.
