Spectacles of Masai Mara

Kenya · Masai Mara · 8 days

Built on the foundation of our superb Magical Masai Mara tour, this special trip is enhanced by a focus on capturing every aspect of big cat hunts in the world-famous reserve. This exclusive trip is limited to just three guests, 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. There is a separate dining room where the chef and camp staff serve safe and delicious food. This is a no-frills base camp with an emphasis on great photography.

One of the most important things for a successful safari is to have good guides. Our guide is specially trained by professional photographers and understands what is required to attain good wildlife images. He will work hard to give us the best opportunities for action shots, from the early mornings to the early evenings. He's part of the cheetah conservation group and is exceptionally skilled in tracking cats, reading the situation, predicting what will happen next, and positioning the vehicle optimally for action photography.

To enhance our opportunities, we use a specially adapted 4×4 vehicle with large, unobstructed sides for low-angle photography, capturing stunning images of iconic African wildlife. 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 moments others may miss. 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.
