9 days photography safari
Safari Overview
Location & Landscape
This safari covers two iconic Serengeti regions:
- Central Serengeti (Moru Kopjes): Heart of Serengeti National Park, rich in predators, rolling plains, riverine forests, and dramatic Moru Kopjes, which provide elevated vantage points for photography and observation of wildlife.
- Northern Serengeti (Kogatende): Remote northern region, key for wildebeest migration crossings at the Mara River, offering spectacular predator-prey interactions and action photography in less crowded areas.
Together, these regions provide diverse photographic subjects from predators and plains game to riverine wildlife and dramatic landscapes.
