We will photograph Amboselli National Park home of the tusker elephant, the Maasai Mara to photograph wildebeest crossing the river, and the Mara North Conservency home of the Big Cat Diaries! These are the most sought after locations for wildlife photography in the world.
Our Photo Safaris are designed specifically for a small group of photographers to maximize the experience of photographing big cats, elephant herds, the Maasai giraffe, the Big 5 and more!

WHAT IS A SAFARI CAMP?
In Africa, a camp is not like camping in other locations around the world. Safari camps are private solid structures with frames, decks, and private ensuite bathrooms giving you an experience like the early romantic days of safari.
Camps are safe, guarded, private and filled with amenities.
