The wildlife photography experience of a lifetime

Test Serengeti National Park, Ndutu, and surrounding areas with local guides and Jeremy Woodhouse to track the “Great Migration” during wildebeest calving season.

Over one million wildebeests, gazelles, and zebras descend on the Ndutu region to feed on the vegetation growing in its nutrient-rich volcanic soils. Along with the grazers, the region’s mighty predators—lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and crocodiles—feast on the seasonal abundance.

The sheer number of animals in such a small geographical area presents a ‘bucket-list’ opportunity for photographers. Our photo safari is purposely slow, allowing you to get to know the movement of the animals, and the rhythm of the bush. Immerse yourself in the beauty that surrounds you and capture the splendor with your camera!

Regions you’ll explore

Ndutu

Situated in the northern section of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, stretching into the southern region of the Serengeti National Park. The wildebeest herds arrive in December in preparation for giving birth in February. This is a time of plenty for the animals and action is never far away as the wildebeest cows drop their young. The Intimate Places Mobile Camp is located in the mature acacia woodland of Ndutu so you’re in prime location for this epic event.

The Serengeti

Stretching from northern Tanzania to southwestern Kenya are the plains of the legendary Serengeti. In the native Maasai language, Serengeti aptly means “Endless Plains.” As host to the largest mammal migration in the world, the Serengeti’s diverse ecosystems are home to more than just great herds of blue wildebeest. Innumerable gazelle, zebra, and buffalo also graze the grasslands along with notable numbers of elephant and giraffe. Not far behind the migrating herds are the Serengeti’s predators, most notably lion but also including leopard, cheetah, jackal, hyena, aardwolf, and serval cat.

Jeremy Woodhouse and the Kindred Safaris collaboration

Working together with some of the best guides and tour operators in the industry, Jeremy Woodhouse has visited more than 100 countries around the globe, and since 2005 has led dozens of instructional photo tours and photo workshops all over the world. Known for his boundless energy and enthusiasm, Jeremy’s goal is always to get photographers to the right place at the right times, and is just as comfortable photographing Naga Sadhus at a Hindu festival as he is photographing puffins on the edge of a cliff in Iceland.

Jeremy’s work has been recognized over the years as he was winner of the “Wild Places” Award in the BG Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award in 2000, the “Grand Prize Winner” in the Nature’s Best Magazine Competition in 2002, and in 2016 he was the winner of the TPOTY Best Single Image in a Portfolio, and his image was Highly Commended in the One Shot division.

Jeremy started Pixelchrome to share his passion for photography with avid photographers and wildlife enthusiasts looking to expand their skills in unique parts of the world. His collaboration with Kindred Safaris opens up exclusive access to the Serengeti National Park and surrounding areas as he works with Kindred’s local guides to track the “Great Migration” during wildebeest calving season.
