Travel with Dee Ann : Tanzania 2012- Nature's Dance II
Nature's Dance II : Weaving together abundant wildlife, scenic splendor & native culture... an epic journey with memories of a lifetime!
SERENGETI, NGORONGORO, NDUTU, LAKE MANYARA...
the names alone evoke powerful images of mystery, wonder and awe. In real life, they offer an experience beyond your wildest dreams.
After 24 hours of traveling, as the warm breeze swept across my face walking down the steps of the plane at the Kilimanjaro Airport I once again stepped on to the rich soil of Africa. I could smell those scents that are so distinct to Tanzania, hear the sounds that were familiar, and look into the southern hemisphere sky lit with stars that are never seen back home. It is truly special here; the land, the people, the wild life and the Spirit of Africa that touches my soul. The connection is amazing…as though I never left, even though it has been months since my last safari. It feels as though I am supposed to have Africa in my life, as Jane Goodall said so profoundly in her book “Africa In My Blood.”
Dee Ann - Journal 2007
Join nature photographer Dee Ann Pederson as she guides a group of photography and nature enthusiasts on a 16-day Photographic Safari through Tanzania's most renowned national parks. You'll experience the best of what East Africa has to offer, with time and space to fully experience the natural splendor and amazing wildlife of the Serengeti, Arusha Nat'l Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Ndutu and Lake Manyara Nat'l Park, all designed to maximize your connection with the riches of the land and the staggering variety of its fauna and flora.
Dee Ann has made this trip many times over the years, and chooses only the best lodges and camps, the best local native guides, and of course, the best safari vehicles for photography. She has worked with Nickson, her lead guide for many years, who has an expert eye for the needs of serious photographers. Coupled with extensive knowledge of the land and its wildlife, our guides offer you the ultimate experience of this phenomenal land.
In addition to the primary focus of photographing wildlife and Tanzania’s scenic splendor, you'll also spend a morning in a Maasai village, and experience a connection to these beautiful beings who have shared this land for hundreds of years. The Maasai children and their teacher under the shade of an acacia tree, their vibrant fabric, intricate bead work, dancing and singing, and mud huts are eye candy without calories. Beware, even if you are an avid wildlife photographer your urge to photograph will be irresistible and your experience with these special people will enrich this journey beyond your expectations.
If you're serious about photography, whether novice or advanced, and want to experience the wonder of Africa, this is the trip for you. If you are traveling with a companion who is not a photographer, perhaps they’d like to capture yet another unique view of nature's experience using a video camera. Join Dee Ann in 2012 for Nature's Dance II and this Epic Photographic Journey.
We invite you to join us for this Epic Photographic Journey!
