Tanzania Safari Photos Gallery for 2 to 13 Day Tanzania Safaris

Tanzania Safari Photos - Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire & Zanzibar Gallery

Tanzania safari photos and images overview

This gallery brings together Tanzania safari photos from different parts of the country so you can see what days in the bush often feel like in real life. Scenes from Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Lake Eyasi and Zanzibar sit side by side, which helps you compare landscapes as well as wildlife.

Each image is taken on a Hazina Afrika trip rather than from stock libraries. Some photographs come from dry season safaris that follow the migration north. Others are from green season journeys in Ndutu and the southern plains or from crater mornings and forest drives where light behaves very differently.

Under several photos you will see links to itineraries where similar scenes are likely. You can use the gallery for inspiration at the beginning of your planning or browse after choosing a route to get a quiet preview of what your own safari might look like.

How these Tanzania safari photos are taken

The photos in this gallery are taken on regular client safaris rather than on special crew trips. That means light and angles come from the same vehicles and time windows guests use themselves. It also means most scenes can be planned into an itinerary if you tell us which parks, animals or styles you like most.

Real days in the field

Images are captured during early morning drives, calm midday hours and late afternoon loops. Guides position the vehicle with both safety and light in mind so that you can watch first and take pictures once you feel settled.

Green and dry season balance

Some photos come from green months when grass is short and bright. Others are from dry season days when dust and warm tones dominate. Looking at both helps you choose the feel that matches your own travel plans.

Vehicles and gear

Private 4x4 vehicles with opening roofs give space for different shooting positions. Many guests bring their own cameras, although the gallery also includes frames taken on professional bodies and lenses that you might recognise from our films.

Patience and time

Strong photos often come from staying with one scene rather than chasing many. Routes and day plans on Hazina Afrika itineraries leave room for that patient style so you are not forced to move on too quickly.
