Samburu, one of the lesser-known of Kenya’s reserves, offers unique animal life and topography for stunning photo opportunities making it one of the best-kept secrets on the wildlife photography bucket list!
This dedicated wildlife photography safari will give you the time you need to enjoy photographing incredible wildlife. You will have ample time looking for specific behavior and action from different angles and in different light and conditions working with our experienced guides who understand what it takes to get the right shot. You also need lots of space to move your equipment in the vehicle hence our jeeps will only have four pax to give you the room you need.

Maasai Mara is an extension of the Serengeti in Tanzania and all the “Big Five” are found here. The “Mara” is everything that we imagine when we think about iconic Africa. It’s a land of sweeping savannah and grasslands where herds, packs and prides roam free in the tall grass or amongst flat-top acacia trees. Our time here will be filled with stunning photography on our game drives with the great migration underway.
Accommodation: Malaika Camp

The search for great predators and perhaps even cubs continues today during extensive game drives. On the plains are enormous herds of grazing animals plus the elusive cheetah and leopard hiding amidst acacia boughs. We can either decide to do a morning game drive with packed breakfast or have breakfast then do mid-morning game drives.
The wealth of wildlife at the Maasai is unrivalled in Africa, particularly during the migration of wildebeests from July to October. All meals and overnight will again be at Malaika Camp.
