ABOUT GAME DRIVES
Each safari vehicle comes with a dedicated driver and will seat only two photographers. The
vehicle is equipped with special wooden platforms along the open windows for you to rest and
lock your camera equipment so you won’t need a tripod. Your dedicated driver is also an
experienced safari guide and the vehicle will be at your disposal during the game drive. The
photographers may have different interests in wildlife photography and your driver will be able
to assist you in identifying and locating the animals you desire to photograph during the game
drive. During the game drives, you are required to remain inside the vehicle at all time.

INSTRUCTOR
JOHAN SIGGESSON
Johan Siggesson is a wildlife photographer from Sweden residing on the small
Mediterranean island of Malta. From an early age he was passionate about
animals and the natural world. Before Animal Planet, Nat Geo Wild and the likes,
he was always glued in front of the weekly nature program on Swedish state
television. No matter if it was lions in Africa, wolves in Yellowstone or Polar
bears in Svalbard; Johan practically grew up with Sir David Attenborough’s voice
at the back of his head.
From the moment Johan bought his first digital camera he was hooked. The
creativity that is unleashed with instant feedback on the screen, variable ISO and
more or less unlimited image capacity is something that really appeals to him.
This, combined with a passion for animals, is a recipe for a wildlife photographer.
When Johan is not out photographing or stuck in front of his Mac processing
images, he enjoys a good meal or watching a game of soccer with friends… and a
cold beer. He hopes that you like viewing his images just as much as he enjoyed
taking them!
In early, 2019 Johan Siggesson was one of the fortunate to be accepted into
Sweden’s most prestigous nature photography association called
Naturfotograferna/N. A great honour!
Artist’s Statement
Seeing is only the first step in the creative process. Experiencing what I see and conveying
it to You is where the creation becomes engaging. With nature as an eternal source of
inspiration, I create works where my impressions of my surroundings are expressed on
paper. Creating harmony of the uninterrupted complexity that exists in nature is
stimulating and inspiring. Although my images have different motives and have been
created using different techniques in the camera, all images are permeated with respect
and reverence for the, sometimes very fragile, nature that surrounds us.
REPRESENTATIVE WORKS OF JOHAN SIGGESSON
ITINERARY
Day 1 ARRIVE DAR ES SALAAM | WELCOME TO TANZANIA
Hotel Protea Hotel Dar es Salaam Courtyard
Or similar
Meal D
Upon arrival, you will be greeted and met with Expedition
Travellers representative at the arrival lobby of Julius Nyerere
International Airport and you will be transferred to your hotel.
At leisure the rest of the day so you can have a proper rest and
recovery from your long journey to Tanzania.
Day 2 & 3 TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK, TANZANIA
Hotel Tarangire Sopa Lodge or similar
Meal B, L, D
After breakfast, you will be transferred to the airport for your
flight to Arusha to begin your safari tour. Upon arrival, we will
stop in the town center of Arusha for a quick city tour which
also allows you to make any last minute purchase before we
head off to begin your first game drive to Tarangire National
Park.
The game drive to Tarangire National Park will take
approximately 4 hours giving you plenty of time to photograph
the wildlife on the way in. The road takes you south, a
traditional farming landscape eventually giving way to the
welcome sight of giant baobab trees and wild savannah – this is
Tarangire National Park. Your lodge is set in a remote and
little-visited area of the park and in an area close to permanent
water. Such a location means excellent game viewing, and your
guide will be on the lookout for the park’s famous red dust-
coated elephants as well as big cats and some of the hundreds of
bird species recorded in here. Your thatch-covered tent radiates
an easy elegance and includes an outdoor shower as part of its
en suite bathroom.
Tarangire National Park is well known for its huge elephant
population and baobab trees. It forms the centre of an annual
migratory cycle that includes up to 3000 elephants, 25,000
wildebeest and 30,000 zebras.Day 4, 5 & 6 THE NGORONGORO HIGHLANDS, TANZANIA
Hotel Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge or similar
Meal B, L, D
Returning north, the Rift Valley landscape begins to rise as you
travel onto the Ngorongoro Highlands, spotting wildlife on the
way as well as red-robed Maasai cattle herders. Your
accommodation for three nights is Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge in
the Highlands Ngorongoro; its modern, high-tech tented suites
tucked away on the slopes of the extinct Olmoti volcano. The
views from your suite and the main lodge are magnificent and
you have plenty of time to explore the area. There is a full-day
Big 5 safair in the Ngorongoro Crater itself to look forward to as
well as game drives in the teeming Ngorongoro Conservancy.
Back at your suite, a wood-burning stove wards off the high-
altitude chill and you have 180 degree views from the floor-to-
ceiling window.
Widely regarded as a microcosm of natural habitats in Africa and
often touted as a veritable Garden of Eden, the ash from the
volcano that collapsed here created fertile soil that encouraged
rich savanna grasslands, which now support the largest herds of
hoofed animals in the world and of course, this attracts numerous
predators and birdlife. Within the crater lie many types of
ecosystem, including riverine forests, open plains, freshwater
and alkaline lakes. The scenery is spectacular as you descend
almost 600 meters down to the crater floor. Chances are, you
will see a considerable variety of wildlife in this compact area
and hopefully, you will see some or all of the “Big Five”
creatures (Lion, African Leopar, Rhinoceros, African Elephant &
African Buffalo) that rule here. Animals within the Ngorongoro
Crater are not shy from people and safari vehicles, so it is easier
to see them up close. The Masai are permitted to water their
cattle at the permanent lake and can be seen leading their
animals in and out of the crater. The most commonly seen
animals are the lion, wildebeest, zebra, eland, bushbuck, cheetah,
jackal, buffalo, Grant’s gazelle and Thompson’s Gazelle. You
may even catch a glimpse of the highly endangered black
rhinoceros.Day 7, 8 & 9 UNDER CANVAS IN THE SERENGETI, TANZANIA
Hotel Elewana Serengeti Migration Camp
or similar
Meal B, L, D
The “Endless Plains” of the Serengeti span some 14,700 square
kilometers and capture the essence of Africa, with their main
claim to fame the 3 million or so animals that make their home
here. Massive numbers of grazing animals and various predators
can be seen – wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, lion, cheetah, warthog,
hyena, hippo and ostrich – and the interaction between the many
species often provides some of the best wildlife viewing
opportunities in the world. For the next three days, you will start
around sunrise for a morning game drive and followed by
another game drive in the afternoon as the animals tend to be
more active in the cooler hours of the day. You will return to
camp during the hours when the temperature becomes too hot in
the middle of the day to rest and relax at the camp. Depending
on the wildlife movements and opportunities for sightings, the
drive may continue through lunch and last all day. In this case,
you will return to camp in the late afternoon.
As our camp site is near the path where the great Wildebeest
Migration takes place every year, the wildlife viewing is even
more dramatic. Namiri Plains lies directly on the path of the
moving animals.Day 10 & 11 MAASAI MARA NATIONAL WILDLIFE RESERVE, KENYA
Hotel The Mara Engai Lodge or similar
Flight Chartered Flight
Meal B, L, D
After breakfast, we will board our chartered flight directly from
our camp to Maasai Mara Game Reserve at around 8:00am. The
flight will take approximately 30 minutes and we will be flying
in low altitude so you have an aerial view to look at the wildlife.
Upon arrival at The Mara Engai Lodge, you will be checked into
your tent and will have a brief break to refresh yourself before
we head out for the morning game drive.
The three days at Maasai Mara National Wildlife Reserve will be
fully packed days doing an all day game drive with the morning
and evening drives. With only two people sharing a 4x4, your
driver can take you to routes based on your photography
preference. .
We roll through all corners of the reserve and shall spot
thousands of wildlife including: Buffalos, hippos in the Mara
River, Zebras, Elephants, Thomson’s Gazelles, Grant gazelles,
Topis, Rhinos, Leopards, Cheetahs, Jackals, Lions, Giraffes,
Warthogs (Pumbas) and many more.
Drive toward the Mara River for viewing the Wildebeest prepare
or do the migration. If lucky and have enough time to wait, you
will witness this once in a life time Natural wonder.
Have your picnic lunch under the shed of a tree in the middle of
the mara wilderness, drive back to your lodge with more
sightings on the way for relaxation and refreshments. Dinner is
served at the lodge.
During the stay in Maasai Mara National Reserve, we will
arrange a low altitude balloon flight for you to take aerial
pictures from atop to capture the animal migration in progress.Day 12 MAASAI MARA - NAIROBI, KENYA | END OF SERVICE
Flight Chartered Flight
Meal B
After breakfast, you will board our chartered flight from our
camp to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi for your
return flight. This day will mark the end of our service.LODGING INFORMATION
