Photography Safaris

Kenya is one of the most photogenic destinations on Earth – a land of breathtaking landscapes, dramatic skies, and incredible wildlife moments waiting to be captured. From the golden plains of the Maasai Mara to the flamingo-filled lakes of the Rift Valley and the elephant herds of Amboseli, Kenya offers endless opportunities for stunning photography.

One of our primary services is tailor-made photography safaris that give you the perfect balance of adventure, comfort, and creative freedom.

What is a Photography Safari?

A photography safari is not just an ordinary game drive — it’s a curated experience designed for photographers. Every moment is timed, every angle considered, and every detail planned to maximize your chances of capturing extraordinary images.

On our photography safaris, we focus on:

• Lighting: Early morning and late afternoon game drives to catch the best natural light.
• Positioning: Access to private conservancies and expert drivers who know how to position vehicles for perfect shots.
• Patience & Precision: We take our time — staying with animals longer for unique behavior and composition opportunities.
