Join award winning photographers Denise Ippolito and Paul McKenzie for an amazing safari adventure to the famed Serengeti and Ndutu area of Tanzania. Serengeti National Park is a World Heritage Site noted for it's great migration and vast plains. These plains are dotted with trees and kopjes where majestic lions with huge, dark manes hang out--literally in the trees, making for some spectacular images. We are bringing our expert guides/drivers with us from the Mara to Tanzania to insure the great sightings that our guests are accustomed to.
