We have designed Land Cruisers with big lens photography in mind. No more than three photographers per vehicle allow you the freedom to use your photo gear to your best advantage.

Destinations

Gustafson Photo Safari photo destinations are carefully chosen to include iconic natural history subjects and supporting species and subjects that build an exciting and well-rounded portfolio. Tanzania’s Great Migration Birthing Season has more than a million wildebeest giving birth so food is plentiful for all the predators. Birds, large and small mammals, as well as stunning scenery complete the story. River Crossings Season has the same subjects but with a color pallet of gold. The action is all around the river! Brazil has jaguars! We see an average of ten individual cats as well as giant otters, Brazilian tapirs, giant anteaters, as well as countless birds. India has tigers, temples and the Taj Mahal. When you add birds, jungle cats, ungulates, and leopards you have a full tapestry of photo subjects. Madagascar is all about lemurs, chameleons, baobabs, and endemic plant life. Rwanda brings us face to face with one of the rarest animals on Earth: the mountain gorilla. Costa Rica is a long lens and macro shooter’s paradise. Toucans, sloths, colorful reptiles and amphibians share the photographic canvas with hummingbirds and the Resplendent quetzal.
