Their knowledge of the wildlife and their uncanny ability to put us in the right location at the right time was instrumental in getting many unique photographs. Not only did I come away with many keepers but memories that will stay with me the rest of my life. If I ever go back to Tanzania, it will definitely be with African Nature Photography. THANK-YOU!!! read less

Opperman and we went to TANZANIA! Russ has a very wonderful relationship with Anglebert Pantaleo who is an exceptional Guide. We were able to photograph MANY different animals. Anglebert understands the habits and behavior of all the animals and can spot them from a great distance with ease. He makes the trip a pleasure and very memorable. I would highly recommend Anglebert for someone wanting to take photos you can be proud of!
After I got back, I entered a photo I took of a Lilac-brested Roller (bird) and won an award in my local
photography contest! read less

As a photographer, I got way more than what I expected with my tour. The guides were so knowledgeable not only with the Serengeti's geography but they are equipped with so much knowledge about the animals and their behaviour. I have done many game drives in the past in different safari locations and different countries in Africa and this was by far my best experience. I believe it's because I am with the best safari tour guides in Tanzania. Thanks so much Africa Nature Photography! read less

It was beyond expectations, which is a lot to say for someone who has seen much of Africa and it’s wildlife on 5 previous safaris. Anglebert is the most accomplished guide and photographer I have encountered. His expertise in tracking and analyzing animal behavior allows him to find the most awe inspiring scenes. Most of our sightings were by just our vehicle and no others. Anglebert does not follow the crowds like many other guides do. His radio is almost always off. Once we encounter the wildlife, Anglebert positions the vehicle to capture the best lighting and angles for the most incredible photographs. Anglebert is a man of outstanding character and respect for wildlife. He never taunts or stresses animals, but treats them with the greatest respect.
The cultural side of this adventure was encountering and mingling with with the local people. We enjoyed a day in a Masai Boma, interacting with the families, dancing,singing, carrying wood on our heads, thatching the roofs, muddling the bomas, and stringing beads. We had the experience of walking in the corral with the cattle, and seeing their blood-letting ceremony. We also visited a local school where we had time to meet the students and see their work. We sang songs to each other and connected on a personal level. Later, we visited a Masai marketplace, a private coffee plantation, and enjoyed a fabulous lunch at a local restaurant.
Our accommodations were exceptional and unique. We felt like explorers in our tented camps, and the gentry from the Colonial period in the magnificent lodges. The grounds at our last lodge were over the top!
I would love to share this experience with my grandchildren. Anglebert would be the perfect guide for a family. Perhaps, in the next year or two, we will be returning with our grandchildren for our 7th safari.
I recommend Anglebert Pantaleo for his honesty, kindness, character, problem solving, leadership skills and knowledge. You won’t go wrong with Africa Nature Photography! read less

We saw more animals - up close - than we had ever imagined. Anglebert was accommodating in every way, catering to the children and creating a splendid family trip for us all. The trip was totally geared to our family's wishes, with Anglebert going out of his way to locate the specific birds, trees, and animals in which we had particular interest. read less

Everyday, our drivers knew where to catch the light to position for the best photos and where to best scope the animals. Their vast experience is real and means everything on the game drives. It’s all about the light! I can’t thank them enough for what the bring to each morning and evening. Without their “sight” and patience, it would not pay to get on the plane or pick up the camera. Deeply grateful - Dena Musantry read less

His guiding experience rewarded us with an array of animals and landscapes and perfect lighting for our photography in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Manyara Ranch and the Serengeti. He was the most gracious host to his country's treasures. I recommend his company highly for those interested in the aesthetic nuances of nature photography.
