What makes this photography safari different?

This safari combines peak wildlife photography in the Mara with meaningful engagement in community-led conservation. Instead of staying in one area, we photograph in three distinct zones – the Mara Triangle, Naboisho Conservancy, and the Pardamat Conservation Area, offering varied ecosystems, fewer vehicles, and opportunities to learn from conservancy teams about how wildlife and Maasai communities coexist.

Will we see the Great Migration and river crossings?

These departures are scheduled during the peak migration period in the northern Mara. While wildlife is unpredictable, this timing offers strong chances to photograph large herds, river crossings, and intensified predator activity around the herds.

Do I need to be an experienced photographer to join?

No. All levels are welcome, from beginners to advanced photographers. Tuition is tailored individually, so you can learn at your own pace, whether you’re working on mastering manual settings or refining a portfolio for publication.
