This Serengeti photographic safari takes you to two remarkable wildlife destinations. This trip was designed by Mark to give you an ultimate Tanzania safari photographic experience here in northern Tanzania. Predator territory at its finest, the Central Serengeti features vast open plains ideal for spotting and photographing lions, leopards, and cheetahs. With big cats often seen near camp and frequent action across the grasslands, it’s a photographer’s dream for storytelling and behavior shots. From June to September, this region comes alive with the Great Migration, as mega herds of wildebeest and zebra gather to cross the Mara River. This is the heart of dramatic wildlife action—river crossings, crocodile ambushes, and intense predator-prey encounters, all unfolding in front of your lens.
