I found it a privilege to watch these two gentlemen while they danced with Mother Nature, seeking and finding one wonder after another. Whether it’s a majestic lioness poised on a kopjes protecting her cubs; a couple of massive Lions, each more handsome than Fabio on his best day; elephants rolling around in a pond, spraying one another to provide relief from the midday heat on the Serengeti; or not one or two but three Grey-headed Kingfishers bouncing on branches, poised for capture with perfect lighting and almost any lens, Anglebert and Tom aim to please. Safaris begin and end on time. Trucks are kept clean, with accommodations for every eventuality. Comfortable lodging, excellent food choices, and attentive staff are on hand to lug your bags in and out. Sit back and relax.

  I recently returned from a safari with Africa Nature Photography & Safaris. Everything was amazing! The accommodations were great, as was the food. The drivers/guides, Anglebert and... read more Tom, are extremely knowledgable and know exactly how to position the vehicle in order to capture the best images. There were so many amazing wildlife viewing opportunities, but I must say that viewing 5 wildebeest river crossings over 3 days was a highlight. I definitely recommend this company and I look forward to another trip with them!

  I just returned from a wonderful safari to the northern Serengeti for the Mara River crossing, and it was amazing. Great photo opportunities, great lodging, and wonderful food. ... read more The guides and drivers Of Africa Nature Photography & Safaris are amazing, they find animals that other safaris miss, and then position the jeeps for the best photographs.

  I just returned from a two week photo safari lead by Russ Burden. Africa Nature Safari's provided all the guiding and logistics and they were wonderful. Angelbert is a genius... read more in finding the wildlife, and putting us all in position to get wonderful photographs. We made three separate visits to a mother leopard and her two cubs. How he was able to find them, and return to them is beyond me! And then there was the Great Migration. On my last trip to the area I felt luck to see one crossing of the Mara River. This time we were able to witness it six different times! I can't speak highly enough about the experience. And the accommodations and food were top notch.

  A completely wondrous adventure! From our pick-up at the airport until our drop off over a week later, Africa Nature Photography provided a first class experience. Accommodations were top notch:... read more Africa View Lodge (Arusha), The Lion's Paw *my favorite* (Ngorogoro Crater), and the camps in the southern Serengeti & the Mara River. The ANP staff were also gracious hosts, proud to show off their home land. The "seasoned veteran", Angelo Pantaleo, the out going and effervescent Peter Njau, and the "trainee expert" Robby Nick guided us along the way. They had GREAT information regarding the plants, the animals, the geology, and the history of locales we would visit. The ANP staff also had a sixth sense for finding a magnificent scene to end each day. Sunrises started each day, and sunsets would conclude each day, and the Africa Nature Photography crew would search out the perfect scene for those sunrises and sunset. In between we were treated to wildlife on a prolific scale: over 100 bird species, elephants, lions, cheetah, buffalo, leopard, gazelle, impala, wildebeest, giraffe, baboon - ALL the animals you can think of, and a few more!

  What a fantastic adventure!! From Arusha (Africa View Lodge), to Manyara, to Ngorogoro (Lion's Paw) and into the Serengeti (Serengeti & Mara River camps); first class accommodations along the... read more way. Truly the trip of a lifetime. Daily game drives highlight the diverse and prolific life present. The stratovolcanoes (Meru and Killimanjaro), the Great Rift, towns and villages too numerous to name, were all on display. The staff (Anglebert Pantaleo, Peter Njua, and Robby Nick) were all friendly, knowledgeable, funny, outgoing, and seemed to have a sixth sense for finding, NOT ONLY spectacular wildlife, but also putting their guests into the optimal position for photos. Every day began with kuchomoza kwa jua (sunrise) and would end with a jua limezama (sunset), perfectly framed by nature. Birds, mammals, reptiles, flowers, trees, rocks, the Masai - a full blown TOTAL immersion into the land of Tanzania. We were able to identify over 150 different animal species! Just an awesome experience from start to finish.

  For anyone for anyone who has ever dreamed of experiencing a wildlife viewing and/or photography safari in East Africa, we highly recommend booking a tour with Africa Nature Photography and... read more Safaris. In January my wife and I and a friend spent 15 days in the Serengeti with Anglebert Panteleo, owner and chief guide at Africa Nature Photography. We had traveled with Anglebert on a 7 day tour to observe the Great Migration in 2014 and always wanted to return. So, to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, we booked a custom safari to accommodate our interests in bird watching and photography and to experience the spectacle of the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras once again.
The pandemic delayed us for a year, but, once we jumped through the various required Covid testing hoops, we had a fantastic trip. Wherever we stayed the accomodations and service were first class. That included deluxe tents or cabins and gourmet meals. Anglebert’s university training in wildlife ecology and knowledge gained from guiding professional photographers, made each day an educational experience. He always seemed to find the best photographic angles, while also minimizing disturbance to wildlife subjects. He truly cares about his customers and takes care of them from their arrival at the airport up until they enter airport security to fly home. Whether you are a photographer, a birder or someone who wants to witness one of the Earth's great wildlife spectacles, this is the company to choose.

  We had an absolutely life changing time! Anglebert and Robbie were the best guides and treated us as very special guests. We had a wonderful experience.

  Mere words don't begin to do describe the experience I had with Anglebert and Tom on a recent Russ Burden photo safari. They took care of everything so we had... read more to do was just sit back, relax and take pictures! They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and we saw amazing things! Everything was amazing and top-notch . The accommodations were beyond my expectations. Beautiful, comfortable and clean with amazing views. Not to mention, going to sleep listening to lions and hyenas! The staff at every place we stayed were extremely attentive and helpful. I enjoyed talking with many of them. They all had beautiful smiles! The food was delicious! Fresh vegetables and entrees amazingly prepared. The animal encounters we had were just amazing! We had plenty of time to watch and enjoy each animal. We were never rushed and I was surprised how comfortable and relaxed the animals were and willing to share their day with us. I came home with amazing amazing photos, memories and experiences I will cherish for a lifetime. I loved it so much I'm going back next year!
