Adventure Quests is pleased to present Take Only Pictures travel photography workshop in Tanzania. Not only capture the most memorable and spectacular sight of the annual wildebeest migration in the Serengeti plains, but also be a witness to the calving season !

About Take Only Pictures

Adventure Quests' series of travel photography workshops, Take Only Pictures, set in the world's most scenic places, under the guidance of award-winning photographers, aim to help train the keen eyes and equip one with basic photography skills to capture travel journeys.

In addition to taking pictures in a scenic setting, we work into our travel photography workshops a session or two where your photography skills will be put to good use by the way of contributing your pictures to the local communities for their wildlife or cultural conservation or simply as a gift of portrait to be passed on for generations.

Key Objectives of Tanzania Travel Photography Workshop

In East Africa, as in many of the countries in the African Continent, generally people are stricken by poverty and diseases. Conditions are worsened by decline of family structures, low economic strategies and ignorance from traditional cultures & believes. The result is an ever increasing population of orphans and street children who fend for their own survival not only physically but emotionally. Visiting a center that provides for these children, Adventure Quests has made special arrangements for a portrait and group photo session with the children. Printed photos will be presented to them as a reflection of their childhood beauty and a recognition of their place in this world.

In this travel photography workshop, capture the best of Tanzania at the Serengeti National Park which hosts the largest concentration of wildlife in the world. Almost every species of animal you can think of in relation to East Africa live on the vast, endless grass plains in the South to the woodlands in the north up to the Kenyan border.
