We’re incredibly excited to be taking you to some photographic hidden gems during a photo safari in the southern part of Tanzania. We’ll be traveling to places hardly anyone gets to see to photograph lions, leopards, elephants, and so much more. We’ll stay in remote reserves and national parks, each with its own unique landscapes and photographic opportunities, and you’ll be guided by expert local guides. What’s more, you’ll be staying in beautiful camps and lodges – surrounded by nature only – on this exclusive and all-inclusive Tanzania Photo Safari.
When most think of Tanzania, it’s the Serengeti, the Ngongoro Crater, and the migration that come to mind first. We decided to do things differently; to take you somewhere a bit more exclusive. These national parks in the Southern part of the country offer the same incredible game viewing as the north, only without the crowds and the over-used safari routes. You’ll get a personal experience of untouched wilderness, and see a side of Tanzania that very few people do.
Our Tanzania photo safari is, needless to say, entirely designed around getting you to the best spots for encountering and photographing wildlife. And to ensure you’ll get the most out of the experience, wildlife photographer Alan Hewitt will be accompanying you, and offering tutoring throughout.

This Tanzania photo safari has you staying in a series of Foxes Safari Camps: well-equipped, carbon-negative, luxury safari lodges and camps in stunning locations. Your first stay in Mikumi National Park is the Vuma Hills Tented Camp. Perched on a hillside, the camp overlooks the Mkata plain, so expect stunning views from the veranda. The camp has comfortable permanent safari tents raised on wooden platforms, all dotted around the camp’s restaurant, bar and swimming pool. Whilst well-sheltered, tucked away in a shaded woodland, this camp is actually inside the park and regularly sees wildlife wandering through.
Your next stay is at the Ruaha River Lodge. Perfectly situated alongside the Great Ruaha River, the lodge offers spectacular panoramas of the riverbanks and the wildlife that are drawn there from neighboring hills. Hippo and croc sightings are guaranteed here and there have been several sightings of lion and leopard kills from the lodge. Your final camp, the Rufji River Camp is positioned alongside the Rufji River with views of the sprawling waterways and their resident wildlife. It has 24 tents, each individually sited with their own verandas.
