What photographers say after shooting with EXG Safaris
Real stories from real photographers who trusted us with their most important expedition.
"I've been on safaris before, but this was the first time every drive was designed around the light. I came home with 40 portfolio-quality images."
"The hide sessions at Tarangire were worth the trip alone. Eye-level elephant portraits — you can't get those from a vehicle."
"Our guide knew exactly when the crossing would happen. We were positioned perfectly. Three of my shots were published in National Wildlife Magazine."

Questions photographers usually ask
All levels from advanced amateurs to
working professionals. Our guides adapt their instruction and positioning to
your
experience. First-time wildlife shooters get more guidance; pros get more
independence and custom positioning.
We recommend a telephoto lens (100-400mm or
200-600mm minimum), a wide-angle for landscapes, and a fast prime for low
light. Bring a sturdy beanbag or gimbal head. We provide beanbag mounts on every
vehicle. Lens rentals can be arranged.
Small groups mean everyone gets a window
seat, there's no competing for angles, and the vehicle stays quiet — critical
for not spooking wildlife. It also means your guide can give personalized
attention to your shooting.
We have exclusive access to permanent hides
at waterholes in Tarangire. These ground-level blinds let you shoot animals at
eye level as they drink — producing dramatic, intimate portraits impossible from
a vehicle.
Every season has its strength. Feb = calving
& predator action. Jul–Aug = Great Migration herds. Sep = Mara River
crossings. We time departures around these events specifically.
No — they're optional but highly
recommended. Your guide reviews your day's images, offers composition feedback,
and shares processing techniques. Most photographers find it's the fastest way
to
improve during the trip.
Absolutely. Private departures start from 2
photographers and can be customized for specific wildlife events, longer stays,
or specialized goals. Contact us for a custom quote.
Drones are prohibited in all Tanzania
national parks. However, we can arrange drone shoots in conservancy areas
outside
the parks for an additional fee.
