Earlier this year, Janine and Guts travelled to Tanzania to scout out the Serengeti for a future photo safari itinerary.

Have you ever been to The Serengeti? If not, do you plan to? Please share your thoughts and experiences with the community in the comments below.

Have been there once on a non-photo tour (although I shot a lot of pics). Be nice to do a Serengeti Photo Safari with you. Oh, BTW, see you in September in the Mara, and in April in the Arctic (talk about extremes). LOL

[@mitch1958no1]

We've been to the Serengeti twice. Once on the Kenya side of the Mara and most recently in February mostly in the south and central areas. We stayed at Kati Kati Camp and while the drives were long, the rewards were great. Almost as soon as we crossed over into the Serengeti from Ndutu and hit the plains, we were greeted by a cheetah mother and three cubs all perched on a termite mound. Just as we started to take some photos, the mom got up and started to walk and we initially thought that was going to be the end of shooting but much to our surprise, they moved to a termite mount much closer to us. then of course the cubs put on a show of playing around. We visited a number of kopjes over the next several days and were rewarded with shots of lions, cheetahs and leopards - all with cubs. Yes, the sun in the mid-day is horrible for photos but the view was great none the less. I will definitely be back.

*THAT* is Africa !!! The Africa of my small boy's days. The Africa that I wanted to see (and possibly to live in). I had to wait until I was 54 - and didn't regret a single minute of it. Endless plains. Nature's sounds all over - all the time. Sunsets like no other. This is Serengeti.

You have done a great job with this video creating great nostalgic feelings for my summer in Tanzania in 1973.

[@CyrilleMichel-f5v]

Outstanding video. Cannot wait to get there. I already enjoyed the best of Chobe. I am sure this trip will be equally as nice.

[@Radiohutch1]

Another wonderful video Janine! I have done the Masai Mara, but not the Serengeti and Tanzania. Hopefully one day! There is nothing in the world like a photo safari and one day I would like to do another one with Pangolin!

[@PangolinWildlife]

You know where to find us! 😀

[@danacampbell8571]

Wow! Janine, this was very moving... as I too have dreamed of this iconic Africa. I do hope to join you in the near future. Fantastic video, music and your still images all outstanding! Well Done and Thank You!

[@PangolinWildlife]

Thank you.

[@FlorianBleser]

Awesome 👌

[@mhhasan5946]

[@PangolinWildlife]

Glad you think so!

[@ryansim408]

The intro was truly spectacular!! Very informative and truly mesmerising!!

[@carolhofman7704]

I ventured to Africa for the first time in Apr/may this year and was lucky to go to Tanzania and the central Serengeti. Your vid brought back wonderful memories. The lion prides that frequent the boulders were so chilled and photogenic. Such a beautiful place with so many animal sightings. I understand now why so many people keep coming back, year after year.

[@PangolinWildlife]

We hope you will too!

[@boatman222345]

Awesome images and poetic presentation!

[@PangolinWildlife]

Many thanks!

[@saptarishibasu1345]

Beautifully presented

[@PangolinWildlife]

Thanks a lot

[@fco.javierquintanajimenez4409]

I have been moved by seeing your beautiful photographs, they are simply incredible! A tear ran down my cheek because next summer, in July, I will go on my first safari in Tanzania and I was excited to imagine that I am finally going to fulfill my dream since I was a child and, perhaps, take images at least half as good as yours. . Thank you very much for showing your work, it is an inspiration.

[@baothiletran-ef8zn]

thank you

[@VABrowneMDPhD]

What an amazingly beautiful place! Thank you for sharing this wonderful adventure! I look forward to a time when I can join you and your colleagues on Safari in the Serengeti and in Chobe.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Please do!

[@jonnham]

Absolutely stunning. I love it. The ending was really powerful for me. Hope I can do this one day

[@andrear9500]

I felt Africa as I always dreamt of in Serengeti. Iconic moments all over the place. I felt I was Robert Redford with my beloved next to me. North Tanzania is a great place. Mostly no offroad, incredible landscapes and the breathtaking migration!

[@SainetNkhoma]

Good job indeed

[@oswaldlyimo5640]

Love itttt

[@Watchinglife193]

This video brings back some wonderful memories. I worked in the Serengeti for 5 years. With camps based in the North, Central and South Serengeti, it was a dream job. And to me the Serengeti is the pinicle sight for a safari. I have left the bush now but always go back when i can. I still takes photos but a lot less of wild animals.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing

[@robertjames-life4768]

Going to South Africa for our first time in the continent, would love to return with you guys to Tanzania!

[@PangolinWildlife]

You know where we are!!!

[@helmut7878]

Beautiful 🤗🤗🤗

[@Brian-xo3mk]

Hello Janine & Guts I'm new to wildlife photography, but as a born South African I only experienced my first Safari in 2014 at Kapama in Hoedspruit, which opened my eyes to the beauty I left behind almost 38 years ago. I since took up photography as a hobby and a wildlife and landscape enthusiast and look forward to watching your tutorials & tips on U-Tube. I will be visiting Africa again in the near future and will make contact before a decision is made on itinerary and plans. Regards and thanks so much for sharing👌🙏

[@PangolinWildlife]

Thank you..we look forward to welcoming you home!

[@simonartley1645]

Serengeti..still a great wild environment and the worlds most dramatic megafauna...along with ..Luangwa Okavango..Kafue ..and yes the birdlife and their calls.

[@ateasech]

some mindblowing photographs...awesome job friends

[@PangolinWildlife]

Thank you so much 😀

[@alexandreaugusto890]

one day... one day...🥰🥰🥰

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Oh Wow! That would be so great! I spoke to a guy yesterday that has gone on safari with you guys. His images were wonderful! His name is Tom Boone Thomson. I dream of the time that I finally get to come over there.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Yes we know Boone! Hope you can come try us out too someday soon

[@490957]

Great videos, must do a safari sometime. Been to the Kruger several times.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Please do!

[@John-Shutterlyphotos]

Stunning shots, absolutely beautiful! Are you using the Canon 1DX iii, R3 or ?

[@craigthompson6519]

Hoping for another trip with Pangolin and this looks real tempting. The videos that Pangolin create are great, curious if you have a dedicated videographer or you shoot/post process your own? Hoping one of you will put together a video guide on using a still camera to shoot video with the how's and what for's, (maybe a 'how we shot that' for one of the regular videos?). Is it advisable to try to switch settings on a still camera and shoot both stills and videos while out on a drive, or recommend to have a dedicated camera for each? Shooting a Z6ii and Z8. Thanks for another great video.

[@B-kl8vj]

Amazing. Do you think a 400mm prime is too short for this area?

[@PangolinWildlife]

Not at all. maybe pack a teleconverter just in case though! Have you seen this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGeTiaqsj695oNE

[@B-kl8vj]

@@PangolinWildlife Thank you.

[@jimbird963]
