The tour will be divided into two main phases: we will start with a night right on the Ngorongoro crater ring to be ready at first light to explore this incredible place, followed by 4 nights and 5 days in Ndutu, during the February birthing season, a period that offers many sightings every day of lions, cheetahs and with a bit of luck other elusive felines such as leopards, caracals or servals. Here you will be able to witness the rebirth of life in the grasslands, with prey and predators in a verdant landscape. The last night will then be in Arusha, not far from Kilimanjaro airport, allowing you to live the safari experience to the last and prepare for the return, with shuttles available to the airport based on your flight.
To make the most of this tour, we will use jeeps specially equipped for photographers.
These cars have been modified with the removal of the windows, the reduction of 4 of the 6 seats and a soft cover for the entire passenger compartment. These modifications allow an opening of approximately 2.5 meters on the sides, offering extraordinary freedom of movement. The absence of seats allows you to take photographs comfortably in any situation, ensuring sufficient space for each photographer.
Each vehicle will be used by only four photographers, ensuring plenty of space to comfortably handle any photographic situation.
In Ndutu we will sleep in authentic “safari tents”, tents that hide a true African style set-up. Inside you will find comfortable beds, a private bathroom and hot water, offering you the perfect mix between relaxation and authentic African adventure. On the Ngorongoro Crater instead we will sleep inside a fantastic lodge!
The tour will then end with a relaxing last night in Arusha. This final stage will allow us a moment of rest and reflection after a series of dense and exciting experiences.
This strategic accommodation will also offer you the flexibility to choose from a wide range of flight options for your return, ensuring a stress-free departure and maximum convenience to conclude your trip in a relaxed manner.

Packed lunch and at about 2.00 pm we will leave the crater to move towards the main part of this tour, the plains of Ndutu. The journey will be about 3 hours during which we could already admire endless herds of wildebeest and zebras in motion and with a bit of luck the first cheetahs and lions!
They will then welcome us from our new camp immersed in the savannah! Here we will spend 4 unforgettable nights.
