Location details:

​

Known as the top wildlife photography destination, immortalized by countless wildlife films, Kenya needs little introduction. Crafted to exceed a photographer's wildest dream, this multiple-location safari not only takes you to the top wildlife reserves but also offers you the greatest photographic opportunities for low-angle photography, night photography, multiple species, and compelling ecosystems with stunning landscapes. 

SAMBURU: Crossing the equator opens a magical new world! Filled with large, iconic umbrella acacia trees in a stunning, arid environment, among the rich, red African soil, Samburu Reserve evokes the traditional vision of “I Dream of Africa.” As the wind blows through the stunning doom palms, one knows they are in a magical place. Roaming through this primal land and unique to this reserve are the maneless lions, rare and exotic Grevy’s Zebras, red soil–stained red elephants, reticulated giraffes, Oryx, and Somali ostrich. In the stillness of what seems like an empty land, one might hear the rustle of the brush as a cheetah or leopard makes himself or herself known. In stark contrast to this dry, neutral landscape, wander the vivid, semi-nomadic colorful Samburu tribe. 

OL PEJETA – Private wilderness conservancy Home to the last two northern white rhinos, Ol Pejeta is a sanctuary for over 150 rhinos including both the black rhinos and the southern white rhinos. This essential and beautiful conservancy, which sits at the foothills of Mount Kenya, is home to various exotic birds and wildlife, such as the reticulated giraffe, gravy and plains zebra, lions, rhinos, buffalo, elephants, antelope, and even wild dogs. 

​

LAKE ELEMENTITA is set within the eastern portion of the great Rift Valley in the private Soysambu Conservancy. The varied terrain offers volcanic hills, acacia woodlands, grassy plains, and a forest of yellow fever trees which is a stunning backdrop for any image.  The conservancy serves as a sanctuary for the nationally threatened colobus monkeys and endangered Rothschild giraffe. The alkaline lake draws tens of thousands of pink flamingos.

MAASAI MARA: Known as the wildlife mecca of the world, the renowned Maasai Mara is one of the greatest wildlife reserves on the planet! The vast, open plains are home to large prides of lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, black rhinos, hippos, Maasai giraffes, common zebras, gnu, impala, Thompson’s and grant’s gazelles, topi, hartebeest, black-backed jackals, spotted hyenas and more. It is the best reserve for the big cats, where BBC filmed Big Cat Diaries and where they continue to film regularly. Our safari takes place during the very end of the great migration season when the crowds have vanished, and the grass has been eaten, which makes spotting and photographing the big cats much easier.

Deluxe Photographic Safari Vehicles 

Our vehicles are fully extended Land Cruisers specially designed to give photographers the most flexibility and maximum space. The sides of the Land cruisers are open (no small sliding windows), with custom built-in bean bags. Small bean bags are supplied to custom adjust the height.  The roof is a pop-up with adequate space and options for using clamps, molar beanbags, panning plates, and other gear to aid your ability to capture the best images. 

Experienced Driver Guides

Our silver-rated guides have been highly trained by top wildlife photographers specializing in Africa. They have vast personal networks through which they receive private information about sightings.  They not only understand the importance of a few inches in positioning a vehicle in a split second for the best light, background, and composition, but they are also highly educated in wildlife, flora, fauna, and conservation while delivering a top hospitality experience.​​
