Our Director/Lead Guide, Joseph, has gained massive experience working with some of the world-renowned conservation photographers and wildlife film producers. We’re proud of our expertise in wildlife photo safaris for capturing the perfect shots! Our African photo safari guides are accomplished naturalists who can interpret animal behavior and movement, always alerting you to opportunities for that perfect shot. They are patient, optimistic, positive, and handle the long hours of photographing with ease, mainly because it’s their passion.
Count on them to advise you on how to position the vehicle at an angle, in the sun and light, for the best winning shot. We provide you with candid ground information to ensure we fully connect with our guests’ needs. When choosing an outfitter for your African photo safari, it matters that you pick one who shares your interests and is, of course, reliable.
For photo safari enthusiasts, our driver guides are spot-on in aligning the vehicle to the photo/subject vis-a-vis the light for that magical Golden Hour shot. We use our wildlife experience in East Africa to select and combine national parks/reserves to maximize time for nature photography. Kenya is the original home of safaris, and with a strong conviction, we would persuade anyone interested in an African photo safari that Kenya is the ultimate destination. Photo subjects range from birds, people, culture, and customs to topography, scenery, and, of course, the unrivaled wildlife.
We always create opportunities in case we spot one because every wildlife moment, second after second, is different, going beyond the ‘aim and shot’ photographic safari, and that’s what we want to share with our guests. Our tour photographing safaris are not rushed; no, our itineraries are slow but detailed so you can observe and record nature, giving you the opportunity to shoot and reshoot for the perfect shot: a bird in flight, animals grooming each other, the peak iced-capped mountains, a big number of elephants crossing over dry lake beds lined up in one straight file, reptiles basking on rocks, sunrise and sunset, and the big cats hunting!
Yes, the only way to enjoy your photo safari is when you are relaxed, aiming at the eyes because they tell the whole story. Capturing the migration of the wildebeests crossing the crocodile-infested Mara River from Serengeti Tanzania, with the backdrop of a cloud cover moving over a mountain and sunset at the horizon, could earn you the award of the year!
