Helicopter Photography

Deep in the heart of the Great Southern Rift Valley, surrounded by the staggering beauty of the Olkeramatian conservancy, beyond the volcanic lunar landscape is the soda lakes of Madadi and Lake Natron, full of flamingos. The perfect setting for aerial photography!  You will fly over the wildlife conservancy on the way to the lakes.  You will have two separate 1-hour helicopter flights. 

Hide photography – day and night

We will stay at two locations in neighboring conservancies with magnificent ground-level hides, eye-to-eye with wildlife, and perfectly lit at night, allowing for an intimate perspective and dramatic images.  Staring into the darkness and anticipating what wildlife will arrive is thrilling. One is a bush hide, and the other is a savanna hide, giving you different experiences and photographic opportunities. We will have exclusive use of these hide and lodge/camp. 

Night wildlife photography

Night photography is becoming very popular! Predators begin to become active in the late afternoon/evening. We try our best to locate the big cats before sunset to follow them into the evening when they become most active. We then try to set up for side/back light for the opportunity of unique and dramatic images. 

Searching for the black leopard

We will be taking a private charter to a special reserve that is host to Giza the most famous cat and black leopard. We continue to hope she will flourish, but this is nature, and anything can happen to her between now and then. However, the regular spotty leopard sightings are excellent and there are new cubs one month old at the time of writing this. This conservancy is also ultra-exclusive with only one small main camp and even smaller sister camp. It is also located in the North, so it has all the exotic species of the north such as the grevy zebra, reticulated giraffe, oryx, gerenuk, vulturine guine fowl, and wild dogs. 

Low angle photography

We fly by private charter to our last location which puts us perfectly positioned in one of the best Mara conservancies with a high density of lions. In this location we will have custom photographic vehicles with special low-level doors to be eye to eye with the predators.  We will have off-road access for the best position and the vehicle density is low in this private conservancy so you can use a wide angle and not have any other vehicles in the background of your images. 

Luxury camps and lodge

Most of our accommodations are exclusive to our group. We staying one exclusive lodge which is like a spa retreat. Each large villa has gorgeous vistas with its private plunge pool! You will not want to leave! Our three luxury tent camps have traditional African style reminiscence of the days of Earnest Hemmingway and incorporate a high eco-standard.
