I am pleased to announce my Tanzania 2011 Tour. This year’s safari will be limited to only 8 participants! This exciting 2 weeks starts with your arrival in Tanzania on the 30th of January and ends the evening of Feb.12th with your departure back to the states or country of origin.
We will be covering some of Tanzania’s smaller parks for the birds and elephants as well as spending 5 nights in our luxury tent camp in the Serengeti! Of course Ngorongoro Crater is also on the itinerary. This trip is timed to coincide with the birthing season of the Gnu. The days are long as we spend most of the day out in the field. Each photographer has his/her own row in the vehicle to maximize your shooting opportunities.
The cost of this trip is $8,000 per person but does not include airfare. It does include all meals, beverages when in the vehicles, tips for the drivers and the camp staff, as well as your visa cost. Tips at the hotels, laundry service, phone calls, alcoholic beverages as well as beverages during our hotel stays are not included. I have compared my cost to other tours and I am sure you won’t find a better deal on a luxury safari! If interested, please send a non-refundable (unless I can fill it) deposit of $1,500 to hold your slot. Last year sold out quickly and I expect the same for this year’s safari.
I can also provide you with some contacts of people who were on last year’s trip so they can share their experiences with you! BTW…..I had more women on last year’s safari than men, so ladies; I can let you speak with some of the women who were on the tour!
The Gnu migration through the Serengeti is truly one of life’s great wonders so don’t miss this opportunity for an experience you will never forget!
