There is a time in Kenya when the landscape comes alive with something extraordinary—new life.

Lion cubs tumble through the grass. Baby elephants disappear beneath their mothers. Young giraffes take their first awkward steps across the plains. And nearby, leopards, cheetahs and lions remind us that this is still wild Africa.

This is the Kenya we come to photograph.

Our small-group photographic adventure travels through a remarkable variety of ecosystems—from the rugged wilderness of Laikipia and the rhino country of Kenya's central highlands to the waters of the Great Rift Valley, the legendary Maasai Mara and finally the elephant plains beneath Mount Kilimanjaro.

Along the way, we'll search for some of Africa's most extraordinary wildlife:

The elusive black leopard. Grevy's zebras. Reticulated giraffes. Black and white rhinos. African Fish Eagles. Hippos. Lions. Leopards. Cheetahs. Baby animals. And the magnificent Great Tuskers of Amboseli.

For those wanting an even more extraordinary beginning, our optional pre-tour takes us into the highlands of the Aberdares in search of another elusive African cat—the serval.

But this isn't about checking animals off a list.

It's about being there when a lion cub looks directly into your lens. Waiting for a Fish Eagle to leave its perch. Watching an elephant family cross the plains. And standing behind your camera as Kilimanjaro emerges from the clouds.

We'll take care of the safari.

We'll help you with the photography.

You just need to be ready when Africa gives us the moment.

Some of the best experiences on this journey aren't listed here.

We're saving those for the people who come with us.

A Photographic Safari Adventure

There are moments in wildlife photography you simply cannot recreate.

Thousands of wildebeest moving across an African plain.

A lion watching silently from the grass.

A cheetah suddenly exploding into a sprint.

An elephant emerging through the dust beneath Mount Kilimanjaro.

And somewhere ahead, one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth is unfolding.

The Great Migration.

Our 15-day photographic adventure takes us far beyond a traditional safari, traveling through dramatically different regions of Kenya in search of wildlife, action and extraordinary light.

We'll photograph the legendary elephants and Great Tuskers of Amboseli, experience the vast herds and predators of the Maasai Mara, take to the waters of the Great Rift Valley in search of African Fish Eagles and hippos, enter the world of black and white rhinos, and finish in the rugged wilderness of northern Kenya.

And just when you think you've seen everything, the animals change again.

Grevy's zebras. Reticulated giraffes. Gerenuk. Beisa oryx. Lions. Leopards. Cheetahs. Elephants. Rhinos. Crocodiles. Hippos. Eagles—and wildlife we haven't even mentioned.

This isn't about racing from animal to animal.

We're photographers.

We wait.

We watch behavior. We study the light. We anticipate what might happen next.

And when Africa gives us one of those extraordinary, completely unscripted moments...

we're ready.

You don't need to be an expert photographer to join us. Photography instruction and guidance are part of the adventure, whether you're still learning your camera or have been photographing wildlife for years.

And we're intentionally leaving a few things out.

The complete itinerary—and some of our favorite photographic opportunities—are reserved for the photographers traveling with us.

Small group. Limited availability.

Reserve your place and join us in Kenya for the Great Migration.
