Amboseli is one of my favorite reserves in Kenya known for its amazing herds of Elephants and Zebra’s roaming through the dusty plains creating stunning photographic opportunities. Photograph expansive views filled with elephants, giraffes and other exotic African wildlife with Mount Kilimanjaro as a backdrop. You  will not only capture iconic images but you will also be reminded of an Authentic Africa of days gone by .

Rise early for a quick cup of coffee and biscuit before heading out for our morning game drive. Every morning the herds slowly begin to come down from the mountains and cross the plains of Amboseli on their way to the marshes centrally located in the national  park. Our focus here will be to capture these amazing herds with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background.  We will return to our beautiful lodge for lunch, which is  located next to the marsh area where all the herds gather during the day.  There will be time to relax, lay by the pool or download images before heading back out on our afternoon game drive.

Please understand;

Traveling in remote locations can present challenges that may require slight changes to the itinerary. I put my heart into each and every itinerary and will always try to run the tour as the initial itinerary. In the event, beyond my control, such as political unrest, natural disasters, overbookings by the lodge, where a change is required, I will do my best to keep us close to the original shooting location. It is my intention for you to have the best possible experience. I will try to notify you of any changes as soon as I am made aware of them. If, however these changes cause an increase to the price, the increase will be passed onto the participant.
