12 Days/ 11 Nights Kenya Wildlife Photography Safari

After an early breakfast, embark on your journey to the rugged Samburu Game Reserve. This semi-arid region in Northern Kenya is home to unique wildlife species not found in southern parks. Over the next two days, immerse yourself in morning and afternoon photo sessions, capturing images of Grevy's zebras, reticulated giraffes, and the elusive leopard. The dramatic landscape, featuring the striking Mt. Ololokwe, provides a stunning backdrop for your photographs.

Today, you'll head towards the equator and the slopes of Mt. Kenya. At Sweetwaters Game Sanctuary, you'll have the rare opportunity to photograph endangered black rhinos in their natural habitat. Visit the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary for close-up shots of our primate cousins. As the day winds down, consider an optional camel ride or night game drive for unique photographic perspectives.

Your journey continues to Lake Nakuru National Park, renowned for its flamingo population. The sight of thousands of flamingos creating a pink ring around the lake is a photographer's dream. Beyond the flamingos, the park offers excellent opportunities to capture images of rhinos, Rothschild's giraffes, and even tree-climbing lions. Early morning and late afternoon game drives will maximize your chances for stunning wildlife shots.

Next, explore the freshwater Lake Naivasha, a bird watcher's paradise. Embark on boat safaris to photograph Fish Eagles in action and a myriad of water birds. The surrounding landscapes of the Great Rift Valley provide breathtaking backdrops for your wildlife images. Enjoy morning and afternoon photo sessions, with time to rest during the heat of the day.

The final leg of your safari takes you to the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. Over three full days, immerse yourself in the iconic landscapes and abundant wildlife of this remarkable ecosystem. Photograph the "Big Five" - lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo - against the backdrop of endless savannah. If your timing is right, you might even capture the spectacular wildebeest migration. Split your stay between two strategic locations to maximize your photographic opportunities.

On your final morning, enjoy one last game drive and photo session before flying back to Nairobi. Celebrate your photographic achievements with a farewell lunch at the famous Carnivore Restaurant. Share your favorite moments and images with your fellow photographers before transferring to the airport for your departure, marking the end of your unforgettable Kenya wildlife photography safari.
