Tanzania, south of Kenya on the African continent's Indian Ocean coastline, lays claim to the title home of the safari, since the word itself is taken from the Swahili word that means "journey." There is no doubt that Tanzania offers one of the best environments in the world for an enriching wildlife experience.

The country's game viewing opportunities are considered by many to be the best in Africa. Its game parks are populated with many of the world's most exotic creatures, including all of the "Big Five." Its lakes are huge and bountiful with fish. Its cities are relaxed and friendly. This sprawling county, the largest in East Africa, remains untouched by the vacationing hordes.

This safari will be very informal and fun. We will have discussion and assistance on specialized topics such as, for example, wildlife observation, field craft and east African animal behavior. This safari is about migration and taking pictures. Lots of pictures.

There will be no classroom sessions, no lectures, no slide shows, and most importantly, no unnecessary egos. We will all work closely together, sharing our knowledge and experience.

Because of the unique location of this tour, and the luxury accommodations, this tour is open to families. Even non-photographers will find the locales visited and the wildlife viewing opportunities to be thrilling.
