Kenya photographic safaris and wildlife tours

KENYA PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARIS

Kenya Wildlife photographic safari

Kenya and East Africa provides some of the most diverse and natural wildlife viewing in the world. We offer traditional safaris under canvas with mobile camps to enable us to get away from the main tourist trails and into unspoilt wilderness, specializing in the Masai Mara - Kenya's premier Game Reserve, location of the annual wildebeest migration.

The National Parks and Reserves rank among the best in Africa and the diversity of the physiographic & vegetation gives rise to a magnificent array of species. As well as Elephant, Black & White Rhino, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Buffalo, Zebra and Giraffe there is also a huge array of less well known but equally impressive animals, including a remarkable variety of antelope. With over a thousand species of birds, including ostrich, vultures and eagles, and a wide variety of water birds such as flamingos, storks, pelicans, ibis and cormorants, Kenya is a bird-watcher's paradise.
The best time for game viewing is in the early morning or late afternoon and the game drives can be as long as you wish, enabling us to look for the rarer or shyer wildlife. Some days a picnic is brought along to enable us to explore remoter areas or stake out a waterhole, taking lunch and a siesta under a shady tree. Walking from camp is possible in some areas, providing a way of getting closer to nature as well as some light exercise away from the confines of a vehicle.

Open vehicles are not suited to East African conditions so our vehicles are equipped with roof hatches for better game viewing and enlarged side windows. We use specially adapted 4-wheel drive Landrovers and Landcruisers, carrying upto four clients per vehicle and extra fuel and water supplies are carried onboard to give long-range independence.
