TANZANIA SAFARI: Photographic Safari in Tanzania

Tanzania must be one of the most photographer-friendly destinations on the planet. From snow-capped mountain peaks to ‘Big Five’ safaris and dreamy tropical islands, Tanzania is basking in its newfound status of being a seriously hot photographic travel destination.

From the Serengeti plains and steep-sided Ngorongoro Crater to the flamingos of Lake Manyara and giant tuskers of Tarangire to idyllic Zanzibar and traditional Pemba to the wild landscapes of Ruaha, Katavi and Stiegler’s Gorge in the Selous… the list of iconic Tanzanian photographic destinations is almost endless. Mahale Mountains with its habituated chimpanzees and Lake Tanganyika location is another unique photographic destination, while the many mountains and volcanoes – from world-renowned Kilimanjaro to the restless Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano – ensure that this is a country that has photographers salivating at the mere thought of a visit.

Best time for photographic safari in Tanzania

The best time for a photographic safari in Tanzania often depends on the specific wildlife experiences and landscapes you aim to capture. Generally, there are two primary seasons to consider:

This is the most popular time for a photographic safari. The weather is generally dry, and the vegetation is less dense, making it easier to spot wildlife. During this period, animals tend to gather around water sources, providing excellent opportunities for dramatic shots. The skies are clearer, enhancing the lighting conditions for photography.

If witnessing the Great Migration is a priority, the best time is during the dry season, particularly from December to July. This is when vast herds of wildebeest and zebras move across the Serengeti and into the Masai Mara in Kenya. The river crossings during this period can be particularly dramatic and photogenic.

It’s important to note that specific months within these seasons offer distinct advantages. For instance, the dry season in the early months (June to August) is considered prime for game viewing due to the concentration of animals around water sources. On the other hand, the later dry season (September to October) is often chosen for its pleasant weather and the chance to witness river crossings during the Great Migration.

What you will experience

Embarking on a photographic safari in Tanzania is a journey into the heart of Africa’s untamed beauty, promising an immersive experience that will leave photographers and nature enthusiasts awe-inspired. As the golden light of dawn bathes the savannah, your lens captures the majestic silhouettes of elephants and giraffes against the horizon. The dry season, typically from June to October, offers prime conditions for wildlife photography, as the sparse vegetation ensures unobstructed views of the abundant fauna. Your lens will focus on the intricate patterns of a lion’s mane, the graceful dance of cheetahs in pursuit of prey, and the vibrant hues of flamingos adorning the shores of Lake Manyara.

The Great Migration, a spectacle of millions of wildebeest and zebras traversing the Serengeti, provides a canvas of drama and movement for unparalleled shots. Skilled guides, well-versed in the behavior of Tanzania’s diverse wildlife, enhance your experience by positioning you strategically for the best photographic opportunities. In the evenings, as the sun dips below the horizon, you’ll capture the warm glow illuminating acacia trees and the silhouettes of iconic baobabs.

A photographic safari in Tanzania is not just about taking pictures; it’s about preserving the raw essence of the wild through the lens, creating visual stories that echo the timeless allure of this extraordinary destination.

I’m beyond satisfied with my lemosho trek together with Mighty Africa Xpeditions We did the 8 day Lemosho trek with Mighty Africa Xpeditions and we had the most incredible time. Our guide Damian, Joel and Jackson took amazing care of us, the porters were great fun and impressed us with their strength and speed everyday and the food was really tasty every breakfast, lunch and dinner. Once in a lifetime experience and I wouldn't hesitate to do it with Mighty Africa Xpeditions again. You really feel part of the family by the end of the trip.

Mighty Africa Xpeditions was professional and delivered what they promised. We fully recommend using their services. We were a group of 6 people, did a couple of days of safari at Tarangire National Park and Kilimanjaro trekking via Lemosho route (8 days). Everything has been terrific and ran very smoothly! Sarah at the office, it has been great during the booking process. She replied to all our questions with patience and competence. A staff Member showed up at the hotel with our trekking head guide the day before departing for the trekking for the briefing and for checking all our equipment. Colman, our head guide and Sadiki, the assistant guide: they have been professional, very friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond and I'm 100% sure that listening to their advice has been the main key to reaching the summit!, Summiting the mountain was one of the most difficult things I have ever done but with the support of the guides and porters I was able to make it to the summit. It was one of the best experiences of my life and one I won't ever forget.
