This tour explores three of Kenya’s most iconic wildlife regions: Amboseli National Park, Tsavo, and the Masai Mara. Amboseli National Park is renowned for its vast open plains and some of Africa’s most impressive super tusker elephants, often photographed against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. The combination of open landscapes, seasonal swamps, and rich wildlife diversity creates outstanding conditions for elephant behaviour, environmental portraits, and predator encounters. Clean sightlines and expansive horizons make Amboseli an exceptional destination for creative wildlife photography. Tsavo offers a highly specialised photographic experience through two nights at a professionally designed underground photo hide. Positioned at eye level with a wildlife waterhole, the hide provides intimate, low-impact access to elephants, plains game, predators, and elusive nocturnal species. Day and night sessions allow for controlled lighting, close proximity, and the opportunity to capture rare behaviours that are impossible to photograph on traditional game drives. The Masai Mara completes the journey with some of Africa’s most dynamic wildlife photography. Known for its dense predator populations and classic savannah scenery, the Mara offers regular sightings of lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas. During the migration season, vast herds of wildebeest and zebra move through the region, sometimes accompanied by dramatic river crossings, creating powerful opportunities to photograph large-scale wildlife movement and intense predator-prey interactions.

This lens provides ideal framing for tight compositions, portraits, and behavior shots in intimate hide settings. 500mm lens (prime or zoom): A must-have for the Masai Mara, especially during the Great Migration, when you'll want maximum reach to capture dramatic river crossings, predator interactions, and large herds on the move. The 500mm allows you to photograph from a respectful distance while still producing high-impact imagery.
