FAQs about 6 Days Serengeti Migration Photograph Safari

What makes the 6-day photograph safari in Serengeti Migration special?

This safari focuses on the needs of photographers, including extra space in the vehicle and a flexible schedule that prioritizes the best lighting conditions. Our guides are trained to position the vehicle for the best angles and to wait patiently for the right moment to capture animal behavior and stunning landscapes.

Are there bean bags provided on the 6-day photograph safari?

Yes, we provide bean bags in the vehicle to help stabilize your cameras for long-lens shots. These are essential for capturing sharp images of distant wildlife and for steadying your camera during early morning or late afternoon game drives when light levels are lower.

Can I charge my camera gear in the vehicle during the 6-day photograph safari in Serengeti Migration?

Yes, our 4x4 Land Cruisers are equipped with multiple charging ports for both AC and USB connections. This ensures that your batteries and devices stay fully charged throughout the day, so you never miss a shot during

your 6-day photograph safari. What kind of gear should I pack for this tour?

We recommend bringing a variety of lenses, including a wide-angle for landscapes and a 400mm or 500mm zoom for wildlife portraits. Don't forget plenty of memory cards, extra batteries, a cleaning kit for dust, and a high-quality camera bag to protect your equipment on the road.

How much space is available for gear in the vehicle?

We typically limit the number of photographers per vehicle to four. This ensures that everyone has an entire row of seats for themselves and their equipment, providing plenty of room to move around and take shots from either side of the vehicle through the pop-up roof.

Is there a lot of dust that can affect my camera on the 6-day photograph safari in Serengeti Migration?

Yes, the national parks can be very dusty, especially during the dry season. We recommend bringing a soft brush and microfiber cloths to clean your lenses frequently. It is also helpful to keep your gear covered with a towel or in a bag when not in use.

Are the guides experienced in wildlife photography?

Our guides are highly experienced and understand the basics of wildlife photography, such as lighting and composition. They know animal behavior well and can often anticipate when an animal is about to move or hunt, giving you a better chance to capture the action.

Will we have time to review photos during the safari?

Yes, we build in time at the lodges in the evenings where you can review your shots and discuss photography tips with your guide or fellow travelers. This is a great way to learn from each other and ensure you are getting the results you want.

What is the best time of year for a photography safari in the Serengeti?

The best time depends on what you want to capture. The dry season (June to October) is excellent for general wildlife and river crossings. The calving season (January to March) provides beautiful green landscapes and many predator-prey interactions.

Will I see the Big Five on the 6-day photograph safari?

Yes, this itinerary covers the best parks for the Big Five. The diverse habitats of Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro provide excellent opportunities to photograph lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and the rare black rhino in their natural environments.
