Kenya Wildlife Photo
Challenge Adventure (11 Days) |

|
|
Kenya is undoubtedly
among the best locations for wildlife photography in the
world. Immortalized by countless wildlife films, Kenya needs
little introduction. We've designed our Kenya Photo Safari
to take you to the heart of the region's best photographic
locations. There are many national parks with plenty of
mammals and birds that do not exist in the wild outside
of Africa. In particular, the Masai Mara National Reserve
in southern Kenya is generally regarde to be the best of
the best. This safari, best for first timers, takes you
to several parks in Kenya so that the participants can get
a flavor from different locations. This is a safari for
a serious amateur photographer.
If your objective is to shoot high-quality wildlife photographs,
in my opinion you need to bring some long lenses and join
a photography-specific tour that go out early in the morning
and stay till early evening (with a long break at noon when
the light is harsh). Moreover, since you will be photographing
from safari vehicles most of the time, it is important to
have no more than 3 or 4 photographers in each vehicle,
and that is what this safari offers. Limited to 12 participants,
this safari covers the most popular routing visiting the
main Parks. Learn
