INTRODUCING 2018 PHOTOGRAPHY ADVENTURES


HANDPICKED FOR THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY EVER!

AFRICA


NEW TRIPS AND EXTENSIONS
NEVER OFFERED BEFORE

Hi <<First Name>>,

As a follow-up to last week's newsletter featuring the expanded 2018 GRIZZLY BEAR PHOTO WORKSHOP in Alaska, SPOTLIGHT PHOTO SAFARIS is excited to share our 2018 photo safaris scheduled for Africa.

In August, we return to Tanzania for another 12-day GREAT MIGRATION SAFARI where 1-1/2 million wildebeest and zebras run the gauntlet of the crocodile-infested Mara River separating Kenya's Masai Mara from the greener pastures of Tanzania's Serengeti. We saw eight crossings in two days this year! The migration is one of the Ten Natural Wonders of the World and a sight not to be missed.

Limited to six photographers, three per 7-seater safari vehicle.  Book now to avoid disappointment!
Dates: 12-24 August 2018.   FOUR SPOTS LEFT

We're creating additional Tanzanian safaris in November 2018 and February 2019. Each safari is crafted to include the best seasonal locations for photographing African wildlife, local cultures and dramatic scenery in the comfort of a safe environment. Inquire for further details.

Extensions to Zanzibar pre-or-post safari are available on all Tanzanian safaris.  

The migration herd is constantly shifting and so are we! 


Join us in 2018!

    “It is amazing each time I look through my recent Africa pictures.  Lots of fun with these folks, very nice accommodations, food, guides and of course animals to photograph.  As I call Africa, it is the zoo unleashed.  You must put this trip on your bucket list!  Thanks Rick Collins for an outstanding trip!” Jennifer B.
       
THE GREAT MIGRATION
(12 - 24 August 2018)
 

2017 GREAT MIGRATION SAFARI guests were once again treated to one of the greatest spectacles on earth. There is nothing in size that compares to the sheer numbers of ungulates involved in the migration  -  1-1/2 million in all.  We were fortunate to see eight crossing in two days - six in the first day alone!

The mobile feast attracts a massive number of predators as well - lions, leopards, cheetahs, crocs, hyenas, jackals, and vultures.  



This year was memorable for the number of big cats with cubs.





Besides the migration, our 12 DAY / 12 NIGHT safari will take us through three of Tanzania's most photo-prolific national parks - Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti - and to remote Lake Eyasi where we'll visit local tribes for further photo ops. 








And, of course, no safari in Tanzania would be complete without a day in the incomparable Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest volcano caldera and a unique ecosystem to around 26,000 animals, including all of the Big Five. 



As with all SPOTLIGHT PHOTO SAFARIS, the GREAT MIGRATION SAFARI is all-inclusive from our choice of roomy transport, knowledgeable guides and safe drivers, top class accommodation, gourmet food, and internal flights right down to the gratuities for the various services.  All you need bring is yourself, your camera, and a desire to be spoiled. 

“Rick – you, Jacob and Moses should be confident that this was a marvelous experience for me.  It was amazing, inspiring, challenging and affirming – exceeded my expectations in every way".  Janie A.

EXTEND YOUR TRIP

(Pre or post safari)


ZANZIBAR

What better way to acclimate to the time zone pre-safari or unwind post-safari than basking in the African sun on the beaches of Zanzibar? The island archipelago has a long and colorful history involving the Persians, Arabs, Indians, Chinese, Portuguese and British.  It is also the only habitat of the endangered Red Colobus monkey.













 

Besides the pristine beaches, Zanzibar is best known for the role it played as a staging port in the international slave trade, and there are many relics remaining throughout the island. The capital city, Stone Town, is a World Heritage Site.

We know Zanzibar! Let us help you plan your extension to suit your budget.

   “Thanks Rick!  Great Safari and fantastic adventure as well as a tremendous learning experience.  Truly a trip of a lifetime!!”  Jay J.
