Tarangire Express 2027

My very first trip to Tanzania with Ingrid. What an experience. Not only in terms of nature, also in terms of accommodation (top lodges in top locations), but above all what a hostess! I've never experienced this before. Ingrid had arranged everything down to the last detail. 2 safari vehicles where even the little ones (like me) have the opportunity to take good photos, thanks to a raised plate in the vehicle, the guides who are always ready to help you with a smile, .... The groups are also not large, maximum 7 people. As a result, there was always enough space in the cars to take the photos. Ingrid divided her attention and presence over the 2 cars. She always gave professional advice, helped with problems with your camera, looked at your photos and gave tips. She scanned the landscape for animals, birds, etc. Nothing was too much for her. Ingrid also took photographs herself, but when it comes down to it, she immediately gives away her seat to the other travelers so that they can also take beautiful pictures. Anyone who goes on safari with Ingrid only has to focus on taking photos. The rest has been arranged and is simply TOP. Ingrid breathes Safari, Ingrid IS Safari. I have planned a few more trips with Ingrid and I am already looking forward to them.

As a non-photographer and not a morning person, I decided to go on this trip with my (photographer) husband. It was an intense but fascinating and educational trip. Thanks to the eagle eyes of the driver/guide and the alertness of Ingrid, no lion, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, elephant, ... or smallest bird escaped the camera lens. I also received useful tips for taking pictures with my mobile phone. I can now frame like the best of them! And with my binoculars I spotted the wildlife even better than the huge telephoto lenses :-) I also really enjoyed the unique accommodations. A carefree holiday thanks to the perfect organisation and guiding.

Ingrid knew in advance that I am not a fan of group travel, but after a successful workshop on "Wildlife Photography" I wanted to give it a try. Her professionalism in giving each participant sufficient attention during the workshop and assisting with individual coaching convinced me to also try out a safari with her. An experience that exceeded my expectations. The drivers turned out to have a very in-depth knowledge of every possible life in the park, from the smallest reptile, the many different birds, to of course also the big game. The lodges are excellent and give you a real holiday feeling, although we didn't see much of them because on a safari with Ingrid, the days are focused on photography. After the intensive early morning and late afternoon "game drives", such lodges are very welcome. The vehicles are specially equipped to give every photographer sufficient space. And finally, last but not the least, going on a photo safari with Ingrid is what it's all about. Her continued commitment to assisting you with your photography means that you will come home with photos that will always take you to a higher level. Thanks Ingrid!

I had a fantastic trip with Ingrid. She has the patience and expertise to teach you everything about Africa and (wildlife) photography. The groups are small, so that everyone (who wants) can enjoy personal guidance and feedback. The entire trip was planned and taken care of down to the final detail. I will happily join one of her group trips again and definitely recommend it to others!

For the fifth time on a (photo) trip with Ingrid. And again a very nice trip with beautiful photo moments. Seen and photographed a lot. Including groups of lions, elephants, leopards and large groups of buffalo. Not to forget the beautiful birds. Observing and photographing young elephants is always a pleasure with surprising effects. We stayed a few days at a place that looked out over the Tarangire River where especially many elephants but also zebras, wildebeest and other animal species came to drink and enjoy themselves. The accommodations were again excellent with waterbucks and dik diks around the tent. Too much to mention. Thank you Ingrid for your beautiful trip as well as very pleasant and useful guidance!

Africa continues to fascinate, even if it is not the first time you visit it, certainly with a guide like Ingrid. The Tarangire park is relatively unknown but offers so many (photographic) opportunities. The lodges are truly sublime, especially the camp situated on a hill with a view of the Tarangire river that reminds one of the Garden of Eden. The guiding, accommodation and meals and the flawless organization make one look forward to more. (For some images you can visit my website www.LUCDESMET.photography)
