Magical Masai Mara

Kenya · Masai Mara · 8 days

Join us for an unforgettable adventure as we make a special visit to the world-famous Masai Mara, one of Africa's most renowned wildlife reserves, in Kenya. This exclusive trip is limited to just three guests per vehicle, ensuring you receive personalised attention and support throughout your journey.

Our eco safari camp is made for professional wildlife photographers and nature photo enthusiasts. Located within Maasai Conservancy land, it is minutes from the border of the Masai Mara National Reserve. The accommodation consists of typical safari tents — basic, but clean and comfortable, with private bathrooms including a shower, washbasin and flushing toilet. A separate dining hall is where the chef and camp staff serve safe and delicious food. This is a no-frill base camp with an emphasis on great photography.

One of the most important things for a successful safari is to have good guides. Ours are specially trained by professional photographers and understand what is required to attain good wildlife images. They work hard to give us the best opportunities from the early mornings to the late evenings — exceptionally skilled in tracking animals, reading the situation, predicting what happens next, and positioning the vehicle optimally for photography. Their mother tongue is Maasai (Maa), and they speak Swahili and English fluently.

To enhance our opportunities, we use a specially adapted 4×4 vehicle with large, unobstructed sides for low-angle photography. This lets us capture stunning images of iconic African wildlife — lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, hippos and more — in their natural habitats. With an experienced Maasai tracker, we follow the action and, where possible, go off-road (please note this may not always be possible) to get closer to breathtaking moments others may miss.

You will receive guidance and support throughout the trip, ensuring you have the best possible opportunity to capture outstanding shots, whether you are a seasoned photographer or new to wildlife photography. Each day we have two sessions at either end of the day, when the animals are most active and the light is at its best.

Amboseli Extension

Nestled at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli National Park is world-renowned for its breathtaking scenery and its remarkable population of African elephants — the largest in Kenya. Nowhere else will you find such majestic herds roaming freely across the plains, framed by Africa's highest peak.

Amboseli, the 'Land of the Giants', is also home to the legendary super tuskers: mighty males whose tusks each weigh over 45 kg (100 lb). With fewer than 30 left in all of Africa, these rare giants are most often found in Amboseli and Tsavo. As an optional three-day extension, you'll photograph these magnificent elephants and the park's many other inhabitants. Our base is a beautiful lodge, perfectly located within the park to maximise your time in the field.

• Amboseli extension dates: 3 – 5 Nov 2026
• Amboseli cost: £2,695 (sharing) · single supplement £300
• Amboseli deposit: £350 (non-refundable)
