Project Description
BIG CATS
Serengeti Safari
INTRODUCTION
Very few species create excitement on an African safari like the big cats, charismatic by day and respected at night. The excitement when stumbling upon a Leopard resting high above the ground on a tree branch or a witnessing a Cheetah sprinting across the grass plains at full speed, in pursuit of its prey. The surreal feeling when lying in your bed with only a thin layer of canvas between you and the untamed wilderness, listening to the roar of a coalition of male lions in the distance, claiming the night. Throw into the mix a picturesque and dramatic landscape and the stage is set for an epic wildlife photography experience.
For our Serengeti Big Cats Photo Safari, we have selected two areas which offer some of the absolute best Leopard, Lion and Cheetah photography. With four nights at each of these two safari camps, you will have ample time to enjoy a most memorable safari experience, but also to build an enviable image portfolio.
With only three photographers per vehicle, you will have a full seat to yourself to photograph comfortably from either side of the vehicle.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Good numbers of Lion, Leopard and Cheetah
- Breathtaking landscapes
- Beautiful accommodation
- Great diversity of other wildlife species
- Private Safari vehicle
- Very scenic small airplane flights between properties.
