TRIP REPORTS
Photo Safari Report: Tarangire, Lake Natron & Mkomazi
November in northern Tanzania is a beautiful and often underestimated time of year — greener landscapes, dramatic skies, softer light, and far fewer vehicles. This 10-day photographic safari was designed specifically to avoid the classic northern circuit that usually continues from Tarangire straight to Ngorongoro and the Serengeti.

Instead, my four guests and I followed a more unusual route: Tarangire National Park, then Lake Natron, and finishing in the wild and quiet plains of Mkomazi National Park. The goal was simple: to experience a different, more intimate side of Tanzania — escaping the crowds, slowing the rhythm down, and reconnecting with nature in a more personal way.

Photo Safari Report: Tarangire, Ngorongoro & Serengeti (Grumeti) – June (Dry Season)
June is one of my favourite months for a safari in northern Tanzania. The dry season has fully settled in, the landscapes become cleaner and more open, and wildlife sightings often feel more concentrated around water and key feeding areas.
At the same time, June sits in a wonderful “in-between” period — the safari experience can still feel remarkably calm compared to peak months later in the season.

This was a classic northern Tanzania itinerary: Tarangire National Park, followed by the Ngorongoro Crater and Conservation Area, and finishing in the Serengeti National Park, based in the Grumeti region.

The key intention behind this journey is not only to see Tanzania’s iconic wildlife, but to do it in a way that felt quiet, unhurried, and deeply connected to nature — escaping the crowds, taking our time, and focusing on quality encounters rather than rushing through a checklist.
