Photographic Safaris
Africa’s wild is a photographer’s dream. Incredible wildlife, flowing plains, stunning sundowners and welcoming people. Whether you are an amateur or an expert photographer getting the perfect shot of an elephant or a lion hunting down its prey is an amazing and rewarding experience.
One of the best spots to capture stunning shots of wildlife and nature is the Maasai Mara. In fact, the plains of the Maasai Mara have been featured in award winning shows such as BBC’s Big Cat Diaries, David Attenborough’s Planet Earth series and several National Geographic documentaries.
What makes the Maasai Mara the perfect place for your photographic safari is the abundance of wildlife. The big cats including the lion, cheetah and elusive leopard are a spectacle especially when captured chasing a prey. Other wildlife that are easy to spot and won’t present a challenge photographing include the elephants, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles and buffalos.
You can also add colour to your collection by taking a shot at the beautiful birds of the Maasai Mara. With over 400 species of birds and an amazing 47+ species of birds of prey (eagles, falcons), the bushes, treetops and skies of the Maasai Mara are a feast for birdwatchers.
These safaris usually take place onboard a custom designed photographic safari vehicle. The photographic vehicle provides you with 360 views of the surroundings, it’s comfortable and has other amenities for additional comfort. There are safari guides who are specialized for these safaris as they will be able to show you hidden gems and spots to capture amazing shots.
