KENYA PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARIS
Kenya Wildlife photographic safari
Kenya and East Africa provides some of the
most diverse and natural wildlife viewing in the
world. We offer traditional safaris under canvas
with mobile camps to enable us to get away from
the main tourist trails and into unspoilt
wilderness, specializing in the Masai Mara -
Kenya's premier Game Reserve, location of the
annual wildebeest migration.
The National Parks and Reserves rank among the
best in Africa and the diversity of the
physiographic & vegetation gives rise to a
magnificent array of species. As well as
Elephant, Black & White Rhino, Lion, Leopard,
Cheetah, Buffalo, Zebra and Giraffe there is
also a huge array of less well known but equally
impressive animals, including a remarkable
variety of antelope. With over a thousand
species of birds, including ostrich, vultures
and eagles, and a wide variety of water birds
such as flamingos, storks, pelicans, ibis and
cormorants, Kenya is a bird-watcher's paradise.
The best time for game viewing is in the early
morning or late afternoon and the game drives
can be as long as you wish, enabling us to look
for the rarer or shyer wildlife. Some days a
picnic is brought along to enable us to explore
remoter areas or stake out a waterhole, taking
lunch and a siesta under a shady tree. Walking
from camp is possible in some areas, providing a
way of getting closer to nature as well as some
light exercise away from the confines of a
vehicle.
Open vehicles are not suited to East African
conditions so our vehicles are equipped with
roof hatches for better game viewing and
enlarged side windows. We use specially adapted
4-wheel drive Landrovers and Landcruisers,
carrying upto four clients per vehicle and extra
fuel and water supplies are carried onboard to
give long-range independence.
