About Botswana
Tanzania is home to some of Africa's largest and most productive wildlife areas. The Serengeti alone covers nearly 30,000 square kilometres, far bigger than Kenya's Mara, and supports an extraordinary density of predators. The Great Migration plays out across this vast terrain for most of the year. Lions resting on granite kopjes and cheetahs scanning the terrain from termite mounds are the signature images from Tanzania. Beyond the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater offers unmatched wildlife density in a compact space. Less-visited parks like Ruaha and Nyerere give photographers access to different ecosystems and species without the crowds.

Why this destination is perfect for you
The Serengeti’s wide, open terrain strips distractions from the frame, letting you focus on clean composition and dramatic light. Predators use granite kopjes like stage sets, resting, scanning, or posing at elevation with nothing but sky behind them. All of this makes Tanzania a perfect destination for mastering fine art photography. In parts of the Serengeti and Lake Manyara, you can also capture a rarely seen behaviour of lins climbing and sleeping in trees. Going on safari in Tanzania feels quite familiar, almost like stepping into the real-life Lion King movie you know from childhood. Whether you are after a bit of nostalgia or top photography, Tanzania is an excellent place to explore.
