Travel Photographer - capturing the soul of a place
For me the mission of a travel photography consists in diving deep into the soul of a place, live it, breath it and capture its essence. It is made of many elements – its landscapes, its people, its nature, its food, its skies… See the galeries of some of my travels.

a selection of my photographic work & reportages
During the presentation of one of my reportages about an Italian region a visitor told me: “you really managed to capture the beauty of those places, their soul”. This has been one of the compliments I appreciated a lot because it confirmed that I was realizing what I was intended to do: capturing the atmosphere of a place and narrate it in a sincere and vivid way. Finding its beauty and aesthetics. Because there is always beauty – it only needs to be seen.
My pictures have been published on travel magazines, online travel sites, international travel guidebooks and journals.

Tanzania – tailor made for you!
Thanks to our long experience and our wonderful local partners we will tailor made
your journey through Tanzania following your personal wishes.
It’s up to you whether to choose a Safari, the trekking to the Kilimanjaro or Mount Meru,
a beach holiday or a combination.
And, as always, there are our suggestions and insider tips for an unforgettable journey!
Safari in Tanzania
Tanzania is, not only for ambitious wildlife photographers, a very multifaceted country with many famous national parks. Before booking a journey you should well decide where your priorities are – since very often it will not be possible to put the whole country with all its highlights in one trip. In the north and east there are the most famous national parks of the country: the infinite vastness of the Serengeti with the famous migration or the Ngorongoro – Unesco World Heritage for being an unique habitat with unequaled concentration of fauna.
Or would you prefer the rather wild, less touristic areas in the south: the Ruaha Nationalpark with many lions and great baobab landscapes or the Selous Game Reserve with its humid areas. Very remote are the parks in the west of the country: Katavi, Gombe and Mahale. They are quite difficult to reach but once there you will be rewarded with a visit to the chimps and a great “out of Africa feeling”.
The Serengeti
probably the most famous national park of Tanzania with its incredible migration of more than 1,5 million animals
The Ngorongoro crater
Unesco world heritage site in the largest caldera of the world and with unequaled concentration of wildlife
The Lake Manyara national park
beautiful rather small park famous for its tree climbing lions
the Tarangire national park
rich of elephants and baobabs
The Mkomazi national park
rather unknown and less touristic park near to the Usambara Hills. Sightings of the African Wild Dog and the black rhino.
The Ruaha national park
the biggest national park of Tanzania directly on the equator line. Few tourists, great landscapes, various habitats.
The Selous Game Reserve
One of the biggest conservation areas of Africa famous for its wet areas. You can explore the rich fauna during boat tours, game drives and walking safaris. Great for bird watchers
The Katavi national park
Wild, hard to reach and off the beaten tracks. pure Africa!
The Gombe national park
on the shores of the lake Tanganjika. the main attraction are the chimps of Jane Goodall.
the Mahale Mountains national park
rain forest and chimpanzee
mountains and treks in Tanzania
climb the Kilimanjaro on 6 different routes
the highest mountain in Africa can be climbed on different routes. We help you to organize an unforgettable trek!
The Mount Meru
The little brother of the Kilimanjaro (but not easier to climb…) with great wildlife
Ocean and beach in Tanzania
Zanzibar
Do you prefer the “classic” beach holiday or smaller, special accommodations? Unesco world heritage site Stonetown (the capital of the island) should not to be missed. Spice tours, small islands, snorkelling, hidden gems. ask for more!
Mafia - the island
Still an insider tip great for snorkellers and divers with the possibility to see whale sharks. A nice population of fruit bats on a small neighbouring island and a hidden colonial palace.
the costal area of the mainland
There is a place, in front of Zanzibar, near to Pangani, that for me comes very close to what I’d call paradise. My personal insider’s tip…
