We are excited to propose an exhilarating wildlife photography expedition tailored exclusively for YPS Members. This 9-night, 10-day journey through Kenya’s most iconic wildlife reserves promises
unparalleled opportunities for capturing breathtaking images and engaging with the natural world.

This carefully curated expedition promises not just a chance to enhance your photography skills but also to create lasting memories in one of the world’s most stunning wildlife settings. We invite you to join for this extraordinary adventure in the heart of Kenya’s wild landscapes.

Whether you’re an amateur or an experienced photographer, this tour will offer an immersive experience with personalized guidance to help you capture extraordinary wildlife moments. From the towering elephants in Amboseli with Mount Kilimanjaro as the backdrop to the legendary big cats of Maasai Mara, every day promises to be an unforgettable photographic adventure.

Places Covered: Amboseli, Masai Mara and Solio

The itinerary includes staying inside the park in Amboseli and Maasai Mara, which allows for the best access to early morning and late evening photography when wildlife activity is at its peak. Our customized photography vehicles and the usage of animal and bird hides further ensure you can capture close, unobstructed shots of animals in their natural behavior without disturbances.

In Amboseli, we will focus on photographing big tuskers, one of the most awe-inspiring subjects in wildlife photography. In Solio, we’ll have a special emphasis on rhinos, and in Maasai Mara, we’ll track the famous Big Five. Additionally, to make the journey seamless and maximize shooting time, we’ve arranged chartered flights to and from Maasai Mara.

This tour is designed to be packed with action, drama, and intimate wildlife moments. It’s an opportunity to not only capture stunning images but also gain a deeper understanding of animal behavior in their natural environment.
