Every African safari is a bucket-list-worthy experience, but our 2024 Best of Africa wildlife photography adventure is the most exciting and comprehensive itinerary we’ve ever offered.

The Best Locations at the Best Times
February is wildebeest calving season on the vast plains of the southern Serengeti. In the space of just 2– 3 weeks, approximately 500,000 newborn wildebeest emerge into the world. Such an abundance of prey naturally attracts huge numbers of predators. We’ll be there to capture the drama, including from an (optional) sunrise hot air balloon flight. But the Great Migration is just the beginning…

• Amboseli  – known for its large elephant population, this park is also home to an amazing variety of large game. Photograph some of the last big tuskers in front of stunning views of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

• Masai Mara – world-renown for its large numbers of apex predators including lions, leopards and cheetah. It’s no wonder why so many film crews choose the Mara as their base.

• Ngorongoro Crater – a true life ‘lost world,’ this unique, isolated ecosystem boasts an amazing density of wildlife, including lions, hyenas & elephants

• Serengeti National Park – watch life and death dramas unfold in the world’s most famous wildlife reserve. Experience the Great Migration at its most spectacular during wildebeest calving season.

Photography Focused Adventure
Every aspect of this trip is designed for passionate photographers by passionate photographers:

• Our days start early and end late because that’s when the best light happens, and the animals are most active. Long before other tour groups begin their breakfast, we’re firing frames in the field. 

• Moving beyond snapshots requires patience and perseverance. We put in the time necessary to produce portfolio-worthy images.

• We choose our lodges for their proximity to the action rather than their amenities. However, we’re confident you will be pleasantly surprised by our accommodations. 

Level Up Your Skills and Vision
Ken and Leighton will always be close by to answer questions, provide tips on shooting techniques and offer insights about practical ways to expand your creative vision. Like most pursuits, good coaching and lots of practice are the keys to improving your wildlife photography game. You will get plenty of both on this photography-intensive adventure. Need a little help with camera settings and lens selection? Maybe some advice on composition and ways to move beyond the obvious animal portrait? Or perhaps a few tips on post-processing techniques or workflow might make the biggest difference?
