Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with our all-inclusive Raw Africa photo safari through Tanzania.
This is a photography workshop first, and a safari second: over ten extraordinary days, our expert photo guides will teach you to see, compose, and capture the abundant wildlife of this East African gem, not just drive you past it. From the iconic Serengeti plains to the pristine Ngorongoro Crater – a wildlife wonderland, the magnificent savannahs of Arusha, and the hidden gems of Lake Manyara, our guides will ensure you are in the right place at the right time, with the instruction to make the most of it.
Under the guidance of award-winning photo guides, you will go on the hunt to capture the elusive Big 5 and more – lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo, rhinos, giraffes, wildebeests, cheetahs, baboons, and hyenas, to name a few!
This workshop is also timed for the pinnacle event of the annual Great Migration – the treacherous Mara River crossing. Each August and September in the Serengeti, countless wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles risk it all as they face crocodile-infested waters in their relentless pursuit of greener pastures. This heart-stopping, exhilarating, awe-inspiring spectacle of nature will be an experience you will never forget!
This unique photo safari offers a packed, well-planned itinerary with only four clients per guide, and includes exclusive off-road access to follow the wildlife off the beaten path in the Serengeti – a rare permit few operators offer. Full lodging, meals, transport, drivers, premium bar, gratuities, and airport transfers are included.
Whether you’re a seasoned wildlife photographer or an enthusiast wanting to hone your skills, our immersive photo safari promises unparalleled moments and incredible experiences that will forever etch the beauty of Raw Africa into your memory and camera roll.
Improving your Wildlife and Landscape photography skills with our expert photography guides, who will ensure you are at the right place at the right time for that perfect shot (while respecting the wildlife and their habitats).
Exclusive off-road wildlife-tracking permit – 5 days of authorized off-track access in the Serengeti to follow the animals wherever they roam, not just where the tracks lead.
All-inclusive workshop – accommodation, meals, transportation, transfers, premium house bar, and gratuities are all included in the price.
