Torres del Paine, Chile

Torres del Paine, in the fabled land of Patagonia, the windy mountains and steppes of southern Argentina and Chile, sports some of the most spectacular landscapes on earth. The horns and towers of the the Paine masiff are almost beyond description, rising abruptly from the relatively flat steppes of Patagonia. This trip will be primarily scenics, with views of the mountain dominating our agenda, but there is a surprising amount of diversity available with wildlife, flowers, gauchos, and more.
Dates: December, 2006 Price: TBA If you are interested in this tour, or of joining me on a special Puma photography expedition, contact our office.

Tanzania's Great Wildebeest Migration in the Serengeti

TheGnu Birthing Season

Tanzania's Serengeti is world-famous and justly so. It is a sweeping, spectacular landscape with herds of gnus and zebras, with grassy plains dotted with spectacular granite kopjes, the home of lions and cheetahs. We'll be visiting two different locations in the Serengeti, as well as the incredible Ngorongoro Crater -- a wildlife mecca that is home to extremely trusty wildlife species. Our visit is timed to be in the prime areas for witnessing the birthing of the wildebeest (gnus) and all the drama often associated with this spectacle. Contact our office for an immediate email notification when we prepare to do this trip.
