I will be leading two safaris into Tanzania during 2011. These will offer two distinct seasons of Africa and both will feature opportunities for viewing and photographing one of the great wonders of the world, the great wildebeest migration (as long as Mother Nature cooperates).

Nikon D300, 70-200VR, 95mm @ f9 1/640 sec, -2EV While shooting in the sand dunes of Namibia, I found myself in an environment that was largely reds and blues.
