Serengeti Photo Safari

Our photo safaris are unique in that they directly impact local families, businesses and ecological and health-based community projects. Each company we book with is locally owned and employs only locals. These businesses also support local programs such as education for girls, school health clinics and anti-poaching initiatives.

 We contract with world-class top safari guides, there are no middlemen/people skimming. In addition, our participants enjoy a once in a lifetime experience with personal guides and 24/7 on site support From Anir Experience Education Specialist (AES). People you get to know and interact with before you leave home. 

Serengeti safari decorum is if you see a special sighting, then graciously radio other outfitters of your sighting (rhino, leopard, large elephant herds, as examples) after your clients have had a first class view. Our guides, more often than not, are first spotters, giving our clients the opportunity to get the first unhampered shots (see our photo gallery that follows). We take our time sitting and viewing the animals in their natural environment. We don’t rush so you are able to take in the full photo Zen experience.
