You’ll travel with a small group\, guided by Art Wolfe and Gavriel Jecan\, ensuring personal attention and expert guidance every step of the way. \nExperience the Wild\, Without the Crowds\nWhile much of the Serengeti can be busy\, this itinerary takes you off the beaten path — starting with a flight into a private concession in the Lobo Valley. You’ll stay at Africa Eco Expeditions Camp\, an intimate tented camp built by photographers and conservationists. Nestled among granite kopjes and acacia woodlands\, this secluded region offers unrivaled access to predators\, elephants\, giraffes\, and the iconic Great Migration — all without the congestion of more tourist filled areas. \nEvenings are spent around the campfire under a vast African sky\, sharing stories and images from the day’s adventures. \nFollow the Migration to the Southern Serengeti\nNext\, you’ll journey to the Nasikia Mobile Migration Camp\, perfectly positioned in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area during the wildebeest calving season. Each January\, over half a million wildebeest give birth here\, drawing lions\, cheetahs\, and hyenas — and offering photographers an extraordinary opportunity to capture intimate wildlife moments and dramatic predator-prey interactions. \nThe camp itself moves with the migration\, so you’ll always be where the action is. Comfortable canvas suites\, delicious cuisine\, and warm Tanzanian hospitality make this a truly exceptional experience. Optional hot air balloon rides provide a breathtaking aerial perspective of the plains below. \nWhat Makes This Tour Special\n\n\nLed by Art Wolfe — learn firsthand from one of the world’s most celebrated nature photographers. \n\n\nLimited to 8 participants — ensuring space\, flexibility\, and personalized instruction. \n\n\nExpert guidance from award-winning photo guides throughout. \n\n\nExclusive locations in the Serengeti\, far from the crowds. \n\n\nPremium accommodations that blend comfort with authentic safari character. \n\n\nPrivate vehicles for optimal shooting angles and time in the field. \n\n\nWhether you’re an aspiring photographer or a seasoned pro\, this safari promises an extraordinary adventure — and a portfolio of powerful\, once-in-a-lifetime images. \nReserve Your Spot Today \nLed by Art Wolfe\nAssisted by Gavriel Jecan\nLimited to 8 participants\nTransportation and Accommodation\nAll meals\, lodging\, and transportation specified on the itinerary are included.

Air travel delays are possible\, so please consider arriving early\, possibly the day prior. We don’t want you to miss out on trip activities. Airport transfer is included on arrival. \nTransfer via a private vehicle to a small and exclusive inn. Set in lush gardens filled with birdsong and surrounded by coffee estates\, Katambuga House is an oasis of tranquility within Arusha.

(Internal flight included in tour cost) \nTucked away in the remote northern reaches of the Serengeti\, the Lobo Valley is a breathtaking mosaic of open plains\, granite kopjes\, and acacia woodlands. Often overlooked in favor of the more frequented central regions\, this area offers an unmatched sense of solitude and raw wilderness—perfect for photographers seeking intimate wildlife encounters and dramatic landscapes. \nIn January\, the Lobo Valley comes alive with one of nature’s most awe-inspiring spectacles: the Great Migration. During this time\, vast herds of wildebeest\, zebra\, and gazelle move through the region in search of fresh grazing\, creating endless photographic opportunities. The sheer density of wildlife draws predators like lion\, cheetah\, and hyena\, adding thrilling moments of predator-prey interaction to the experience. \nEven beyond the migration\, Lobo boasts a rich variety of resident wildlife. Elephant\, giraffe\, buffalo\, and the elusive leopard are often seen\, while the area’s ancient granite outcrops and rolling hills provide stunning backdrops for wildlife and landscape photography alike. \nWith its dramatic scenery\, abundance of wildlife\, and relative seclusion\, the Lobo Valley offers a more off-the-beaten-path safari experience—one that feels both wild and wonderfully unspoiled. For photographers\, it’s a dream location where every game drive holds the promise of something extraordinary. \nYour accommodation here will be at Africa Eco Expeditions Camp which was built by wildlife photographers and conservationists. Here is a brief description of the camp: \n\nSet in the heart of the northern Serengeti\, Africa Eco Expeditions Camp offers an authentic yet comfortable safari experience designed to keep you close to the action. This intimate camp places guests right where the wildlife is—ideal for photographers looking to maximize their time in the field.\nThe camp features spacious\, safari-style tents equipped with cozy beds\, en-suite bathrooms\, and hot bucket showers. Evenings are spent around the campfire under a canopy of stars\, with delicious meals and stories from the day shared in the mess tent. Solar power and Eco-friendly practices ensure that your stay leaves a light footprint on the land.\nWhat truly sets this camp apart is its exclusivity and location. Far from the busier parts of the Serengeti\, it offers a front-row seat to wildlife action\, often just steps from your tent. With expert guides and a small group atmosphere\, this is a camp that brings you as close as possible to the wild—without sacrificing comfort or warmth.\n\nDAYS 6-9: JAN 16-19 Ngorongoro Conservation Area (Southern Serengeti Ecosystem) (B\,L\,D)\n\nThis morning the group will drive to our next destination\, the Nasikia Mobile Migration Camp\, located in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site\, in the Southern Serengeti Ecosystem. \nIn January\, the vast short-grass plains of the southern Serengeti—technically part of the greater Ngorongoro Conservation Area—become the stage for one of Africa’s most powerful wildlife spectacles: the calving season of the Great Migration. More than half a million wildebeest converge here to give birth\, flooding the landscape with life and attracting a full cast of predators in their wake. \nThis region\, often referred to as the “cradle of life\,” is not only biologically rich but visually stunning. Rolling plains stretch to the horizon\, punctuated by lone acacia trees and the occasional kopje—an iconic\, dreamlike setting for photographers seeking wide\, cinematic landscapes and intimate wildlife moments alike. \nThe sheer volume of wildlife during this season is extraordinary. You’ll likely encounter wildebeest and zebra herds in the thousands\, with plenty of opportunities to photograph interactions between mothers and calves. Lions\, cheetahs\, and hyenas are ever-present\, drawn by the abundance of vulnerable prey\, making for compelling storytelling through the lens. \nThis is where the wild is still truly wild—and for those seeking to capture the raw energy and emotion of Africa’s great migrations\, there’s no better place to be. \nYour accommodation here will be at Nasikia Mobile Migration Camp – Tailored Luxury\, Right on the Migration Route. Here is a brief description of the camp: \n\nDesigned with movement in mind\, Nasikia Mobile Migration Camp follows the pulse of the Great Migration—shifting locations throughout the year to place guests in the heart of the action. In January\, the camp is set within the southern Serengeti ecosystem of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area\, perfectly positioned for witnessing the wildebeest calving season\, one of the most dramatic and photogenic periods of the migration.\nThe camp features spacious canvas tents with full-size beds\, en-suite bathrooms\, and hot showers\, striking a thoughtful balance between rustic charm and modern comfort. Warm hospitality\, excellent cuisine\, and personalized service elevate the experience\, while a cozy lounge and dining area offer space to relax and recharge between game drives. They also offer optional Hot Air balloon rides!\nFor photographers\, Nasikia’s location is second to none. Being mobile means being exactly where the wildlife is\, and in January\, that means an abundance of activity right outside your tent—newborn calves\, big cats on the prowl\, and a constant buzz of life on the plains. It’s a front-row seat to nature’s most extraordinary show.\n\nDAY 10: JAN 20 DEPARTURE DAY (B)\n\nAfter breakfast the group will catch a charter flight back to Arusha for continuing travel home.
