Wild Encounter Safaris

30/10/2024

I am extremely excited to offer a new, unique photo safari in northern Serengeti - Lamai wedge, close to the Kenyan border.

This is all inclusive 9 nights/10 days stay at luxury camp close to the famous Mara river. Safari is for 6 people and we have two landcruisers to offer an ultimate flexibility for observation and photography. The most important - the area is almost completely devoid of tourist this time of the year, but full of fantastic wildlife - big cats and variety of general game.

We will spend hours in the field from before sunrise and return after dark to ensure maximum exposure to amazing wildlife of the area. All of that at unbeatable value and almost complete solitude, away from the crowds.

Anyone interested in this absolutely unique safari please contact me soonest as the spaces may disappear fast. Details in the link below.

I have just added a new safari to visit Serengeti and Ndutu area during a peak migration on the southern side where wildebeests give a birth to hundreds of thousand babies. We will focus on admiring amazing spectacle of birth but also looking for predators abundent in the area during calving. In central Serengeti we will focus on big cats on kopjes and the general game. The safari will finish with two descends to the famous Ngorongoro crater before we finalize back at the Kilimanjaro airport.

We will have our own, specially customized vehicle (extended Land Cruiser) with one of the best guide/drivers in the business. Only 4 persons per vehicle will provide a lot of flexibility and comfort needed for wildlife observation.
Itinerary is fully inclusive - check for details on the link below.

I have still two seats left - if you are interested please contact me soonest. I will answer any questions.

All enthusiasts of African wildlife and wildlife photography will love this Photo-safari that I have on offer for December 2024. Together with an excellent, award winning photographer Mateusz Piesiak Wildlife Photography we invite you for a 10 days photo safari in one of the best spots of the Okavango Delta. We do not plan to hop and sample different camps, we will stay and focus on incredible wildlife in one area - allowing to get to know local habitat and animals, and direct our photos rather than simply react to the situation.

This all inclusive photo tour, will stop in one of my favourite areas in one of the last remaining, real wilderness in Africa. The camp with their staff, the local guides, food and photo tutoring is at its absolute best.

We will have opportunity to capture incredible photos of big cats, African wild dogs, elephants but also many other species...including nocturnals. After dinner we will take time to admire amazing night sky and take some incredible photos of the Milky Way.

Most importantly we will have maximum 4 photographers per vehicle for a full comfort and flexibility. Both, Mateusz and I will be providing continues photo tutoring and will be sharing our approach to wildlife photography. All of that at absolutely unbeatable price (none can match this trip for its quality on all fronts).

Don't wait any longer - contact me for details or simply book your seat for this 2024 extravaganza.

Couple photos from the recent visit to the Okavango Delta during the green season. The variety of sightings and ability to shoot candid portraits as well as wide angle 'animalscapes' is what I really like. With 1, max 2 vehicles, animals are relaxed, don't feel stressed allowing to develop that special connection. I sometimes feel so overwhelmed that I forget to photograph, just enjoy special moments. Even the baboons allow for some nice portraits 😉

Remember - if you are interested in visiting Okavango in the green season with me, drop me a message! We returning next January to this enchanted place.

But, Serengeti is also about amazing sunsets that we have admired most of the evenings on our way back to camp. Please find attached some of images taken during the week of 22-27 July.

We have updated dates for the amazing safari next March 2023 to Ngorongoro, Ndutu and Seronera. Due to renovations of our initial camp on the Crater rim, we had to switch to equally excellent camp and start slightly later as initially advertised. The rest remains the same. Superb camp on the Crater rim, just minutes from the gate will allow us to be the first on the Ngorongoro floor in the morning. Four nights in an excellent camp in Ndutu, will allow us to be at the open plains at first light and reach the Hidden Valley before sunrise. Proximity of Marshes also allow to explore that prolific area before sunrise and just before sundown. In Seronera we will stay 4 nights in phenomenal camp not far from the Namiri Plains and short drive to Maasai Kopjes and Research Kopjes. We will have absolutely best local drivers with vehicles prepared for wildlife observation and photography. Its difficult to promise the wildlife sightings, but the 2022 trip was an absolute blockbuster. Artur Stankiewicz Photography will be your host and guide during the entire trip. This trip will fill up soon so don't wait, send us an email or call us soon.
